:::::::::KSorenson, "connect the dots" is a good childhood game but it does not amount to falsifiability.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:48, 12 November 2009 (EST)

:::::::::::While I haven't studied Popper since I was a wee undergrad, as I recall, that's precisely what "falsifiable" means, sir. If your theory makes a prediction that can be either confirmed or contradicted by observation, then your theory is falsifiable. In our case we couldn't just look up in the sky and ''see'' the geometry of space around the Earth, so we had to build an instrument to measure it, but that counts too, right? Maybe we're just coming at it from different understandings of the term? Could you please define for me what ''you'' mean by "falsifiability?" Because as long as I'm not on the same page with you about that, my continuing to contribute to this site would be a pointless waste of time.--[[User:KSorenson|KSorenson]] 19:00, 12 November 2009 (EST)
