Theory

Back 23

a set of propositions that attempt to describe something

Front 24

Scientific Mosaic:

Back 24

A set of all accepted theories (based on opinions of educated not laymen) and employed method

Front 25

Scientific Change:

Back 25

Any change in the scientific mosaic

Front 26

Analytic propositions

Back 26

are deduced from definition and cannot contradict the results of observations or experiments. The proposition holds in all possible worlds because the opposite is inconceivable

HD method

Back 29

a hypothesis is allowed to introduce unobservable entities (eg. particles, superstrings ect) provided that it predicts something novel, hitherto unobserved, and some of these novel predictions are confirmed

Acceptance

Back 33

A theory is accepted if it is the best available description of the object (Ex: Quantum physics and general relativity)

Back 34

A theory is used if there is practical application
