Henri Poincaré: On the Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics – Law of cooling of an isolated solid body in space

Suppose we are looking for the law of cooling of an isolated solid body in space. It will be a question of finding a function V satisfying the equation dV/dt = kΔV, and which moreover is given for t = … Read More

Science and pseudoscience – Falsifiability

Black SwansThe delimitation between science and pseudoscience is part of the more general task of determining which beliefs are epistemologically justified. Standards for demarcation may vary by domain, but several basic principles are universally accepted.
Karl Popper proposed falsifiability as an important criterion in distinguishing between science and pseudoscience. He argues that verification and confirmation can play no role in formulating a satisfactory criterion of demarcation. Instead, it proposes that scientific theories be distinguished from non-scientific theories by testable claims that future observations might reveal to be false.
