Popper's work was translated to "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" in 1959. He wanted to solve “the problem of demarcation”, to distinguish the difference between science and what is not science. He began by developing "falsification", a solution describing a theory as scientific if it can be 'falsified', or refuted by a possible observation. It is impossible to prove a theory based off of an observation,all that you can learn from observations is that theories are false. -
