FALSIFY This! Science vs Pseudoscience

Описание: How do we determine whether a theory is scientific or not? What gives science the credibility and authority that it commands? In philosophy of science, this is called the demarcation problem: how do we demarcate between science & pseudoscience. Some philosophers believed if you could find confirmations of your theory, then it must be true. But, philosopher Karl Popper proposed a different method. Instead of trying to find more confirmations of our theories, we should be doing everything we can to FALSIFY OUR THEORIES, BIIIITCH!
