title = "Empirical Testing",
abstract = "Empirical testing of a scientific hypothesis is always indirect. A hypothesis is tested by making predictions and seeing if the predictions are true. A look at the logic of this shows that a true prediction cannot prove a hypothesis. Nor can a false prediction disprove a hypothesis. So empirical testing is always indecisive, and scientific method must involve more that just evidence and logic.",
