The Falsification Theory
Karl Popper. (July 28, 1902-September 17, 1994) Contributed amazing argument's regarding the general theory choice, scientific methodology, breaking the limits between science and non-science, quantum mechanics and probability. In 1934, his book "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" the falsification theory occurred to be the cornerstone of critical rationalism. He specialized in western/analytic philosophy, critical rationalism, metaphysical realism, and many other specialties. -
Poppers problem of induction
known for his rejection from the classical laws of the scientific method, he explained that empirical sciences can be falsified but not proven. That their is no way to prove certain hypothesis, there are certain facts that can theorize what an outcome can be. An example that all swans witnessed have been white. There is no proof that the next swan seen will also be white but an assumption can be made that it will be white. Until the day comes where a yellow swan appears, the theory stays true. -

He claims a theory to be impossible to conclude being true, and to ensure a theory to be true, its falsifiability need to be detected as early and easily as possible. in most instances, theories are psychologically believed to be proved true, but there is no logical justification of proof -
