"Thus, in Popper’s words, science requires testability: “If observation shows that the predicted effect is definitely absent, then the theory is simply refuted.” This means a good theory must have an element of risk to it. It must be able to be proven wrong under stated conditions."
@jaysonmassey And doesn’t that imply that some phenomena are - by nature - off limits to scientific inquiry?
@morecowbell I didn't that from reading the article.
@jaysonmassey It wouldn’t have been in the article, it’s s just a question that comes up every time I hear Popper’s theory. Things like history, subjective experiences, prescient dreams, alternate timelines are by nature unfalsifiable, so even if they are true, they are unverifiable by the scientific method.
