Question

what is science in the words of Karl popper in biology 8th class textbook​

Answer 1

1. Karl Popper believed that scientific knowledge is provisional – the best we can do at the moment.
2. Popper is known for his attempt to refute the classical positivist account of the scientific method, by replacing induction with the falsification principle.
3. The Falsification Principle, proposed by Karl Popper, is a way of demarcating science from non-science. It suggests that for a theory to be considered scientific it must be able to be tested and proven false.
4. For example, the hypothesis that "all swans are white," can be falsified by observing a black swan.
5. For Popper, science should attempt to disprove a theory, rather than attempt to continually support theoretical hypotheses.
