The Limits of Verification
No scientific theory can be verified. One cannot prove that a theory is true by showing that conclusions deduced from it agree with experiment since:
- future experiments may conflict with theory,
- another theory may be equally compatible with present evidence.
“From a finite set of particular observations, one cannot derive a universal generalization with certainty.” (Barbour, 98)
