Summary

This quote highlights one of the key strengths of science: the replication of work. In the scientific community, a study's validity is measured by its ability to be replicated by independent researchers. If a study's findings can be successfully replicated numerous times, it lends credibility and confidence to the scientific claims being made. Conversely, if an experiment or study cannot be replicated, it raises doubts about the robustness and reliability of its results. Thus, this quote underscores a fundamental principle of scientific inquiry, emphasizing that scientific discoveries should be replicable to establish their validity.

But really, anybody could die any day, whether you were ready or not. It could be your pet fish or your sister or you. Nothing is the same forever. Maybe all the people on Earth are God's little pet fish. God lives such a long time that people's lives probably seem really short to him.
