There has recently been considerable discussion of a "replication
crisis" in some areas of science. In this book, the authors argue
that replication is not a necessary criterion for the validation of
a scientific experiment. Five episodes from physics and genetics
are used to substantiate this thesis: the Meselson-Stahl experiment
on DNA replication, the discoveries of the positron and the omega
minus hyperon, Mendel's plant experiments, and the discovery of
parity nonconservation. Two cases in which once wasn't enough are
also discussed, the nondiscovery of parity nonconservation and the
search for magnetic monopoles. Reasons why once wasn't enough are
also discussed.
