How about this theory is neither verifiable nor falsifiable.
- vidarh 3y agoThe general concept is not falsifiable, but many variations might be, or their inverse might be. E.g. the theory that we are not in a simulation would in general be falsifiable by finding an "escape" from a simulation and so showing we are in one (but not finding an escape of course tells us nothing). It's not a very useful endeavour to worry about, but it can be fun to speculate about what might give rise to testable hypotheses and what that might tell us about the world.
