Are there expositions of why various theoretical attempts by prominent physicists failed? - or is it mostly the case that they told people they were making such attempts and never published anything?
For example in the thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/on-the-relation-between-physics-and-philosophy.982427/
Edit: For that example, perhaps there are papers like: https://www.nature.com/articles/167648a0 although I can't access it and probably wouldn't understand it if I could.
