# Popper
Karl Popper was a highly influential 20th-century philosopher who changed how we think about science and knowledge. He argued that the best way to test scientific ideas is to try to prove them *wrong* rather than prove them right—if something can't be proven false, it's not really science. His ideas shaped modern scientific practice and remain central to how scientists evaluate theories today.
hidden premises(as what the statement says we do NOT need)
Unstated assumptions or starting points in an argument that someone would need to consciously think about—the idea that we might have to retrieve mental rules to understand language.
objection(as a scientific critique)
A logical problem or reason why something might not work or be true. Einstein found what he thought was a flaw in Weyl's theory.
