When scientists discover something new they publish it along with the process they went through.
Other scientists sometimes read what was published and try make the same discovery using the same process. (ie, attempting to replicate the study). This helps gives confidence that the original publication was correct.
More than half the time a scientist attempts to replicate another's work it fails.
