There has recently been considerable discussion of a â€œreplication crisisâ€? 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,Â Mendel plant experiments, and the discovery of parity nonconservation. Two cases in which once wasnâ€™t enough are also discussed, the nondiscovery of parity nonconservation and the search for magnetic monopoles. Reasons why once wasnâ€™t enough are also discussed.
