non-replicable
Impossible to reproduce
Non-replicable describes something that cannot be reproduced or repeated, particularly in scientific contexts where an experiment or study yields results that others cannot duplicate.
A non-replicable finding raises questions about its validity, since replication is a cornerstone of the scientific method.
The study's non-replicable results led researchers to question the original methodology.
The term also applies more broadly to unique events, artworks, or experiences that resist duplication.
