Falsifiability
Shortly after receiving his PhD, Karl Popper proposed an idea in which he called 'falsifiability'. He proposed that everything we know or everything that we think we know can be or willl be contradicted by even greater technologies and experiments. He believed that nothing in science is facts and that it is jus a proposed idea that we accept until it is disproven. When a theory is rejected by an experiment a scientist must redo their theory or accept that it is no longer true. -
