Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Falsificationism in Popper’s philosophy Popper’s philosophy is sometimes said to fail to recognize the Quine-Duhem thesis, which would make it a form of dogmatic falsificationism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists would not have arrived at either of these theories, or a compromise between both of them, without the use of testable, falsifiable experiments. Popper saw falsifiability as a black and white definition; that if a theory is falsifiable, it is scientific, and if not, then it is unscientific.

Detailed explanation-3: -Karl Popper He argued that science does not use induction, and induction is in fact a myth. Instead, knowledge is created by conjecture and criticism. The main role of observations and experiments in science, he argued, is in attempts to criticize and refute existing theories.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Falsification Principle, proposed by Karl Popper, is a way of demarcating science from non-science. It suggests that for a theory to be considered scientific it must be able to be tested and conceivably proven false. For example, the hypothesis that “all swans are white, ” can be falsified by observing a black swan.
