I wasn't talking about astrophysics, a far broader subject than Big Bang cosmology. In the latter, while analyses can be replicated, and some (but far from all) methods, the underlying experimental event cannot.
This is also true of certain kinds of fieldwork, where samples may be irreproducible, and consumed. E.g, certain types of air archive, which take air samples for things like longitudinal studies. Once you use the early air up, you can no longer replicate.

Certainly, I agree replication is an interesting thing to think about in all sciences. But your original statement was far too strong.

For your argument to be valid there would have to be entire journals devoted to fundamentally irreplicable science -- science where replication is impossible. If there aren't, my statement stands even if individual cases of events/analyses etc. within a field are not replicable.
