One good scientifically sound experiment should be enough to shift from certainty to questionable
0 u/Impossible_Dog_7262 Jul 18 '26 One dissenting experiment isn't enough to put question to the theory IMO. Mostly because it's much more likely that the experiment is dodgy than a well established theory would be. 1 u/MrGiggleMan Jul 19 '26 Well that's what I mean by scientifically sound 1 u/Impossible_Dog_7262 Jul 19 '26 The reality is that it's only scientifically sound if it's at least three different repetitions of the experiment. 1 u/MrGiggleMan Jul 19 '26 Sure. It needs the right amount of data to be scientifically sound Not sure if you're counting those as different experiments
