Scientific Relativity Theory

A metascientific and infrascientific framework stating that science is not absolute but relative to fifteen interdependent points: Context, Perspective, Space, Time, Theme, Details, Conditions, Nature of the Subject, Nature of the Object, Nature of the Claim, Nature of the Research, Nature of the Researcher, Nature of the Field, Nature of the Hypothesis, and Nature of the Experiment. Each of these dimensions shapes what counts as scientific knowledge, how evidence is interpreted, and which methods are appropriate. The theory rejects the idea of a single, universal scientific method, arguing instead that scientific validity is always validity‑relative‑to‑these‑factors. It explains why findings vary across labs, why replication fails, and why different disciplines have different standards—not as failures, but as expressions of scientific relativity.

Example: “His metascience seminar used Scientific Relativity Theory to show that a physics experiment and a sociology survey are incomparable not because one is less rigorous, but because their fifteen points differ—context, object, researcher field, all of it.”
