| Oct 30, 2018 at 2:15 | comment | added | Conifold | If by "verificationism" you mean the logical positivist version the consensus is that it never holds in physics at all. Einstein's discarding of ether certainly was a lot more complex than that. What he told Heisenberg pretty much rejects verificationism's principal premise:"Whether you can observe a thing or not depends on the theory which you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed." See Do theories come from observations or do they determine what is observed? | |
