What is Popper's main idea of falsifiability?


A scientific claim must be capable of being tested and potentially proven false.


Why does Popper think this "cleanses" science?


It gives us a way to distinguish genuine science from pseudoscience. A theory that can
explain everything and can never possibly be shown wrong is not genuinely scientific.


What is the key distinction to remember regarding science? (Popper)


Science does not prove theories absolutely true; it subjects them to attempts at falsification.
