Components of a Scientific Theory

Testability

It should be testable, every test is an attempt to falsify it. So the more the theory can be tested the greater risks it takes.

Falsification

Evidence for a theory do not support it, they present a serious challenge that has failed to falsify the theory.

It should forbid certatin things for happening, the more it forbids the better.

A scientific theory must have the possibilty to be falsified.

Subtopic

Refutability

Irrefutable Theories:

Karl Marx's thoery of history.

Freud's psycho-analysis theory.

Alfred Adler's individual psychology.

A scientific theory must have the possibility to be refuted.

Evidence that do not refute a theory are the evidence that support it.
