Falsifyability Is The Correct Science Criteria

Falsification has ever since been the rocket that propels science. Yet it seems that even the top scientists donnot realy understand the very foundation of science. It is not a surprise because the foundation of science is philosophy and the modern scientist has been trained to look down upon philosophy.If you ask many people, the reason why telepathy, telekinesis etc is not part of science, they will often tell you either of the two answers, depending on whether or not they beleive in it: Scientists are simply biased or there is no enough evidence to support the claim. Though the second is wrong, and perharps also the first, even the top scientist can be tempted to say it. 'Magicians', countless of times have stormed into the house, wave a magic wand and utter, 'abrakadabra' only for all candles to turn off in the room! This is a confirmation of telekinesis. However, non of the proponents of telekinesis agree that in case the 'magician' waved the magic wand but did not succeed in turning off the candles could falsify telekinesis. This the only reason telekinesis is not considered as science.Wikipedia has some long, good article termed 'pseudoscience'. I tend to agree in what the guy categorise as 'pseudoscience' but I don't agree with what wikipedia call it 'science'. The falsifyability criteria is not always adhered to even in mainstream science! In one of ways of distinguishing pseudoscence from science, wikipedia states:"over reliance on confirmation other than falsification"However, it is well known that our scientists are more prone to confirmational bias than even religion! They donnot even hid it, and the same same wikipedia states that when an experiment disagree with established theories, it should be kept there to hang around and labled: 'not yet confirmed findings'. It is the beleiver in the paridigm's status quo who must measure it, and the tape is streatchy! The bottomline is that a finding that disagrees with establishment must be kept on the pending till someone finds a far fetched way of debunking it. How about when the promised 'messiah' as higgs are found? It is never kept there for endless time to wait for confirmation. Next year, someone is being awarded with a noble price!With this, it is not a surprise at all that some physicists are thinking of removing falsifyability as a valid criteria in science. It is not a surprise because all along, they have been realy doing a lip service to falsifyability criteria. They just mension it once in science introduction and then throughout the course, they talk solely about confirmation. It is this double definition of science that makes his ability to harvest the best from all universes unlimited. Those arguing against falsifyability realy have a very big say in debates for they have numerous examples in theoretical physics to support themselves with. Dark matter and dark energy being the leading examples. Essentially, General relativity is realy unfalsifyable, as long as its proponents are allowed to invent any form of matter wether or not it is known to exist. Unfortunately, 'dark matter' is a huge loop hole that drive physicists to similarly introduce theories of that standard and deny falsifyability by pointing out that established theories, GR and QM are realy unfalsifyable as well! These low (scientific) standard theories include cosmic inflation, multiverse, string theory, supersymmetry etc.One other reason why the oponents of falsifyability have a big say is that the falsifyability criteria is infact a very limiting one for science. Many speculations that makes perfect sense has to be excluded from science if falsifyability criteria is rigidly applied. Lets take an example of the claim that there is life in another planet apart from the earth. We cannot meaningfully falsify such a claim no matter how many planets we may check. Should we then remove falsifyability criteria from science? Nope! The claim that life exists in other planets is not a scientific claim! A proper scientific claim is a negation: 'there is NO life in any other planet apart from the earth" (compare this with the Einsteinian barrier). As far as what we know from the planets we have explored, the claim agrees with the experiments! The negation is falsifyable. Should we descover life in pluto, we revise our science: there is life ONLY on earth and pluto. That is true science. Every time we look through the telescope and discover a new star, we ammend our claim about the size of the universe. Science should be cabable of continually improving by abandoning former beleifs and must not fear being proven false. Science is the game of two male sheep fighting on top of the hill. As long as the sheep retreats backwards down the hill so much that the hill prevents them from seeing each other, the fight ends! Each of the sheep gets convinced that the other has surrendered!

"Being open minded is one thing, following & believing a conspiracy theorist who lies is another entirely.. he's a con man has been charged in court for his lies even its cost him a lot of money and yet he still keeps trying to fool people online."

"Why do you follow Alex Jones he's a goon conspiracy theorist!! , have you not learnt anything from all his BS reports..and arrest & charges for his lies.."
