>> No, in science, things aren't 'false' until they are proven to be 'true'. Science isn't binary. Okay. I agree with the following. You may disagree with it if you wish. We can argue about its meaning. "But if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong" is the bottom line. “In general, we look for a new law by the following process: First we guess it; then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right; then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is — if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong.”
