Does it matter? Science works, doesn’t it?

Karl Popper turns science upside down Here is my hypothesis…… Try to shoot it down! Popper “A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific” “Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it”

Thomas Kuhn’s scientific revolutions Science progresses by leaps, when crisis point is reached in the current paradigm –paradigms are “universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners.”
