Popperianism

Popperianism is a philosophy of science developed by Karl Popper, emphasizing that scientific theories should be testable and falsifiable. Instead of seeking to prove theories true, scientists propose hypotheses that can be potentially refuted by evidence. If a theory withstands rigorous testing and survives attempts to disprove it, it gains provisional credibility, but it can never be considered final truth. This approach encourages continuous testing and critical scrutiny, fostering scientific progress throughwhat is not true rather than what is assumed to be true.
