Testability Of Theories And Hypothesis Necessary, HOWEVER NOT Nearly Good Enough


HoneyRazwell

Recommended Posts

Did you know that while testability is necessary for a hypothesis or theory, testability is NOT NEARLY GOOD ENOUGH.

 

Yes, untestable theories hold back scientific progress, HOWEVER, there is something MUCH MORE IMPORTANT that holds it back far more.

HoneyRazwell, this is a discussion forum, but your posts seem like all you want to do is tell people things in a hostile drive-by format. Can you drop the hostility, pull up a chair and sit down to have a conversation?

 

Don't respond to this modtip in thread, report it if you don't like it.

You realize it's all here for anyone to read, and see this isn't true, right?

"HoneyRazwell " is completely correct. If it is a bad explanation, then it does not even matter at all whether the theory or hypothesis is testable. Testability, while necessary, is not good enough or sufficient.

 

Any crank can claim that he sun will burn out next Tuesday. This is testable.

 

Untestable theories are only one of the things that holds scientific perogress back. There is somehting that holds it back to a far greater degree and that is exactly what "HoneyRazwell" was pointing out..
