You're really good at posting things that have nothing to do with the topic.

he's trying to point out that "nothing is truly falsifiable", the principles of falsification directly mention this so...yea, irrelevant

As is theoretical physics (admitting i know next to nothing on the topic), it is the extension of mathematical principles (possibly to the point of absurdity, i don't know much on the topic), also theoretical physics are possibly outside the scope of the principles of falsification (since it really is not actually important to your daily life, however i certainly admit that it could be, but that is not really the point of the principles of falsification)p

I don't know what possesed to me to say this stupid crap, but its wrong lol, theoretical physics require the construction of an entire mathematical universal framework so each claim is falsified against said universal framework, and the framework is falsified against the observable universe based on the predictions made (again, not my field of study, but i know i can do better than that nonsense lol)

I was directly commenting on your tl;dr, which states "If a theory cannot be proven false by evidence then all evidence supports the theory and there is no point in experimentation."

My point is that if a theory cannot be proven false, then it still could be true. In fact Godel's theorems state that most true things cannot be proven or disproven at all.
