• Why a theory of physics can't be falsified

    From Maciej Wozniak@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 7 12:28:48 2024
    That's because it is not a formal theory.
    You don't have any proof that it is saying
    what you think it is.

    In practice - you "falsify" newtonian mechanics,
    because you want it to be falsified. You're
    simply asserting that it was saying against
    your experiments; then you do your usual
    arm waving and throw shit at those who
    question that.

    And, of course - Euclidean geometry can't be
    falsified too, but for different reasons.
    So, against it, you're doing the same.
