When to discard a theory
If your theory is as plausible as the following statements:
- Life is short.
- Men are cruel.
- Curiosity killed the cat.
Then you should discard your theory.
If your theory is as implausible as the following statements:
- There is a God.
- The Earth will be destroyed by a planet-eating rabbit.
- Curiosity killed the cat.
Then you should discard your theory.
Applications hold in all sciences, but physics has its own means of analysis.
