No Experimental Result Can Ever

Einstein's Results Again Turned The Tables And Now Very Few Philosophers Or Scientists Still Think That Scientific Knowledge Is, Or Can Be, Proven Knowledge.

The Positive Heuristic Of The Programme Saves The Scientist From Becoming Confused By The Ocean Of Anomalies.

One May Rationally Stick To A Degenerating Research Programme Until It Is Overtaken By A Rival And Even After. What One Must Not Do Is To Deny Its Poor Public Record... It Is Perfectly Rational To Play A Risky Game: What Is Irrational Is To Deceive Oneself About The Risk.

The Great Scientific Achievements Are Research Programmes Which Can Be Evaluated In Terms Of Progressive And Degenerative Problemshifts; And Scientific Revolutions Consist Of One Research Programme Superceding (overtaking In Progress) Another. This Methodology Offers A New Rational Reconstruction Of Science.

There Is No Falsification Before The Emergence Of A Better Theory.
