You do realize that scientists who work on the LHC have the highest repeatability standards of any science profession, right?

- nonbel 10y agoAs far as I know there is only one organization running a machine that can check the LHC results. That is the team that runs the LHC. On the other hand, there are many other experiments that are repeated billions+ times a day in order for consumer electronics to work, etc.
- jomamaxx 10y agoThe LHC experiment is not the issue here. There is a lot of transparency there, a lot of well meaning people with a lot of oversight. I suggest most would admit 'there could be a problem' there, but it's out in the open if there is. The problem of lack of repeatability I think has to do with subconscious bias on the part of the experimenters which will be less pronounced when there are 5000 people working on it.
