Conjecture Institute(@ConjectureInst):We can never know whether a physical theory that we have formulated is true; all we can say is that it has so far not been found to be false. This may seem a little unsettling, but it is an extremely interesting fact about how knowledge is created; and, as I said, it is central to the possibility of making progress, via criticism. ~Conjecture Institute Senior Scientist Chiara Marletto
