Yes, but not all. So called hard sciences have problems as well.

More importantly, I would say that all the things that people actually care about are deep in the replication crisis.

Not technically part of the replication crisis but none the less interesting to me is the mystery of the changing standard KG weights (IPK). Some gain weight, some loose weight, we think we know some reasons but not all the reasons. In the end we gave up trying to figure it out and redifined the KG to avoid the unstable weight problem.

seems like a cop out solution to me.
