Falsifiability

TagLast edit: 20 Aug 2020 18:48 UTC by brook

Falsifiability or Refutability is the capacity for a statement, theory or hypothesis to be contradicted by evidence. For example, the statement “All swans are white” is falsifiable because one can observe that black swans exist. (From Wikipedia)
