The principle of verification

The principle of verification states that a claim or statement is only meaningful if it can be tested or proven through evidence or observation. In other words, for something to be considered genuine or valid, there must be a way to verify it scientifically or logically. This ensures that statements are not just opinions or beliefs but are supported by observable facts or replicable experiments. Verification helps distinguish meaningful, testable ideas from those that are vague, unprovable, or purely speculative.
