FAQ About Karl Popper
How does Popper's falsifiability relate to pseudoscience?
Popper's concept of falsifiability is crucial in distinguishing science from pseudoscience. Pseudosciences often lack the ability to be tested and falsified, as they do not make specific, empirically testable predictions. By demanding that scientific claims be falsifiable, Popper provided a litmus test to expose theories that masquerade as science but do not adhere to rigorous empirical standards, encouraging skepticism towards pseudoscience.
