Popper and Wittgenstein ● the so-called principle of verification

Popper ● The criterion of falsifiability.Differentiate between a scientific theory: it offers to the risk of refutation and an unscientific theory that escapes it.

Current neutrinos of the LHC. ● For example. The theory of relativity is offered to the risk of refutation. The speed of light is the maximum possible speed. That's why the scientific world has been put into turmoil by the CERN Neutrinos. ● In a sense Popper is right: no scientific theory is definitely true. It is reliable because it has resisted attempts to refute

Wittgenstein -Popper ● But according to the theory of the representation of Wittgenstein. As you can tell that if I have a table in front of brown and say "this table is brown" I do a check?. ● In any case, the criterion of falsification falsified theories are no longer considered usable. So who is forced to remove the concept of probability. Because the concept of probability must assume the existence of thruth. But in this way seems to go down the idea of ​ progress.

likely ● For Popper, we can not now say that Einstein's theory is more likely than Newton or more real fact Both are false. Moreover, the truth is infinite. So 1 + infinity = infinity just like infinity = infinity.

progress ● For Popper, you can not even speak of progress, since all theories giving false and falsified the truth has never been touched by them. This means that we must have a concept of limited and not infinite truth. Otherwise, progress could be seen as a departure from the origin.A journey implies a departure and an arrival. For Popper, we know only the start and progress is only a step away from starting.
