Contribution
Without Poppers ideas, especially falsification we wouldn't be where we are today in terms of scientific knowledge. Falsification is beyond important to the scientific method, part of proving your ideas correct is finding the flaws in the idea, trying to prove it false. If you cant prove it false then there's a good chance it is correct. -
