Conjectures and Refutations

"Conjectures and Refutations" is a phrase capturing the scientific process where ideas (conjectures) are proposed as explanations or theories, and then tested rigorously. When evidence contradicts a conjecture, it’s refuted, leading to revised or new theories. This cycle helps science improve understanding over time, as no theory is ever considered final. In essence, science advances by proposing ideas, testing them critically, and learning from mistakes, refining our knowledge with each round.
