xenoarcheology
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From xeno- + archeology.
Senses: examples: text: As they walked, he saw the black material around him and beneath his feet in an entirely new light. A transmitter of gargantuan size and incredible age, the AAnn insisted. Who had built it? Why was it situated on an empty, ovenlike, nowhere world like Pyrassis? Was this what the crew and complement of the Crotase had come all this distant, dangerous way hoping to find? If so, what possible connection could a prehistoric alien transmitting device have with the Meliorare Society, or with the sybfile of personal information he had tracked halfway across the galactic arm?
Through stealth and quick thinking he had acquired some answers, but in no wise were they keeping up with the rising flood of questions. Try as he might, he failed to link his purpose in being on distant Pyrassis with that of the crew from the Crotase, much less with the presence of an enormous antediluvian transmitter of alien design. It was entirely possible, he realized, that there was no link, and that the visitors from the Commonwealth vessel had come to this desert world driven by other reasons entirely. The revelation of the transmitter’s existence was as unlikely as it was unexpected. While it engaged his interest and imagination, he knew he must not let it distract him from his purpose in journeying to this place. He was here to learn about and find out about himself, not to engage in xenoarcheology.

They bestrode the stars as gods — we have seen the scraps and ruins they leave behind— and we are ants creeping across the floor of a deserted house. Our ships have visited six hundred worlds, only the tiniest fraction of the suns we can see with the unaided eye. Yet there are wonders which beggar our knowledge and skill even in such a tiny space. Have you thought what might lie beyond the rim of our domain?"
"Hasn't everyone? Every undergraduate class debates this in first-term xenoarcheology!" Gretchen began to feel the excitement of curiosity stir and tried to keep her voice level. "Where did they come from, the giants of the First Sun? Where did they go? Why aren't they here now?"

Senses: examples: text: Dr. Melloni and a group of like-minded scientists began drawing up plans for their study in 2018.

[…] The other theory, developed by Giulio Tononi of the University of Wisconsin and his colleagues, goes by the name Integrated Information Theory.

hypernyms: collaboration#Noun

glosses: Any of a class of study designs in which scientists with conflicting theories work together with others who are neutral or agnostic about those theories, and this team runs an experiment to test the theories empirically and thus find out whether one of the theories is contradicted by the evidence found.
raw_tags: of experiments
examples: text: Although adversarial collaborations might feel like an unnecessary constraint in the short term, it will likely improve research in the long run (Ellemers et al., 2020). If your hypothesis is correct, it likely will win out in an adversarial collaboration. If it is incorrect, likely it will eventually be falsified regardless of whether you discover this on your own in an adversarial collaboration or whether other scholars discover this in failed replications or failed conceptual replications. Delaying the inevitable by refusing to participate in adversarial collaborations only risks wasting more time and money and lowering the ratio of science that will withstand the test of time.
