Is it possible to predict how many experiments are required to verify a natural law?

As Feynmann put it - we can't be right, we can only be wrong.
No matter how many experiments support the law, one is enough to falsify it.

Thanks, Feynman is one of my favorite scientist. O-rings and nanotechnology always come into my mind every time I see his name.

And I always think of tea with milk

Even if I don't really understand them.

Hey, I'm not judging. I just like to shoot straight. I'm a man of science.
