One of Karl Popper’s early achievements included a book he had written in 1935, called “Logic of Scientific Discovery.” This book centers around how falsifiability is needed to continue the evolution of science. He uses many examples to prove that theories can never be verifiable, and he expresses that they (theories) can only be falsifiable. He also very clearly shows his dissatisfaction with the induction version of the scientific method.

Popper believed there were many non-scientific theories that seemed to have the same appearance as scientific theories on the surface. He had figured out that in the end, non-scientific theories are unable to be tested, or falsified. He stated that many non-falsifiable theories have only been proven through confirmation bias events.
