Sonnet On Popperism

 Falsification (Philosophy of Science / Karl Popper)

No thousand swans of brilliant, flawless white,Can prove the absolute rule is fully true,For one dark bird that flies into the night,Will tear the ancient certainties in two.A theory is not science if it hides,Behind a shield that cannot be pierced through,True knowledge only in the risk resides,To be proven wrong by something bold and new.We do not build our truths on iron floors,But over swamps on pillars driven deep,We leave open the heavy, bolted doors,And question everything we want to keep.The boldest guess is finest when it tries,To face the test where superstition dies.
