So intrigued by this mans mind.

Have you read Alan Chalmers 50 page essay on Popper, Quine, and Duhem? I'm 29 pages in, it is changing my perspective a lot. I see no KZbin videos bringing up his points, it's a must. Just Google it and you'll see the PDF/Doc.

Hello kind sir, I appreciate the recommendation and would love to add it to my reading list but perhaps my googling skills are failing me. Would you be able to perhaps give me a year or website or any further details that will ease my search?

[@Human_Evolution-]

@@GuptaSparsh crazy to think just 1 year ago I was so interested in this. Now I'm obsessed with Stoicism. Anyway, you could possibly find it by Googling 'alan chalmers popper quine". I remember it was good.

But, sir, the measurement of any hypothesis may involve a lot of theories and any of these theories may go wrong. Then how should we believe the tested hypothesis?

[@matiascollado9926]

That's a good question i think

[@alexshanto7285]

I think if any theory go wrong and there may be two case 1) The theory itself is wrong 2) The experiment doer has done mistake. But we don't have to worry about that because tested hypothesis is experimented again and again. Like the Mickelson and Morley experiment, when they find out that the velocity of light is constant in all reference frame. It was assumed by scientists that they have done subjective mistake in experiment. But that experiment was done again and again. Everytime the result matched with M- M experiment result. Then our boss Einstein enters in who says as the experiment is showing same result then the theory Which is telling that velocity of light is not constant must be false. Thus we can come to a tested hypothesis.
