Does "repeat research" really work?

If I put it in as the only research project, and click "repeat", will it successfully research level 1 (20k), level 2 (32k), level 3(45k) and start level 4 in just 1 turn? Or will it just finish level 1 and waste the other 80k of research points?
(My numbers might not match the actual research costs, but you get the idea)

No, that isn't how it works. Basically when a project is finished it will be moved to the bottom of the queue. Unless the level just completed is the Last one after which it will vanish from the queue.

Think of it as a way to let research run for awhile w/o interference.
