Science as falsification

Empirical falsification is a philosophical position that a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and should be scrutinized by decisive experiments.

If a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable. If it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.

Karl R. PopperThe Logic of Scientific Discovery
