Question

If scientists had tried to repeat thomosons experiment and found that they could not would thomosons cocnclusion still have been valid?

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusions from Thomoson's claims would be invalid if his experiment could not be replicated.

One of the attributes of a valid experiment in science is replication. That is, an experiment must be repeatable with similar outcomes under similar conditions as the original experiment when independently performed by another scientist. Once an experiment cannot be replicated, the outcomes of such an experiment become invalid in science.

Hence, Thomoson's conclusion would be invalid if his experiment could not be replicated.
