Theory? The correct term should be 'hypothesis'.
- ordu 3y agoI'm not sure how philosophers of science demarcate hypotheses from theories, but my own feeling that this is a theory. It is infallible, like Euclidean geometry. It can be falsified, but I think it can adapt to falsification attempts. Or it can detach itself from Real, it can go platonic, like Euclidean geometry does, and to speak about Ideal, like points, lines, planes and other objects that are not real. So it is more than a hypothesis, that to my mind must be falsifiable.
