      <p><p><span>Title of paper The Logic of Experimental Tests,&nbsp; Particularly of Everettian Quantum Theory. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Hi DD - you go full welly for Popper&#39;s take on Science. But I don&#39;t recall the category of &#39;problematic&#39; - is that Popperian or yours? </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Also you lead with the claim of misconception regarding the widespread belief the Multiverse is not testable. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Could I request that you actually perform the logic the test as a worked example of what you mean</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Long experience with popper deutschians has seasoned me to understand how the popperian rules tend to get used by yourself. </span></p><p><span><br></s
 pan></p><p><span>e.g.&nbsp;&nbsp;you mention here &quot;....An important consequence of this explanatory conception of science is that experimental results consistent with a theory T do not constitute support for T&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>The way that is presented, I think the intuitive reading by most people&nbsp;imagines robust&nbsp;theories will heaps of&nbsp; corroboration no longer getting points of &#39;truth&#39; for that. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>But the way it always gets used is you or someone wants to assert a totally unsupported theory. You can argue that is neither here nor there. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Another example is the assertion that empirical testing is not needed, that it doesn&#39;t make a
 ny difference because a theory can&#39;t be thrown out on those grounds. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>In practice that translates to an &#39;explanation&#39; is asserted into place, despite no corroboration and in some cases&nbsp;complete fails experimentally&nbsp;outcomes. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>I think you are misleading with your centre piece claim, because the way you &#39;prove&#39; the multiverse is testable is by first eliminating all the difficult tests that multiverse can never pass. And then you finalize your &#39;test&#39; with this &quot; To understand why quantum theory is testable, it is essential to regard it as an explanatory theory&quot; </span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>So what you really meant was the multiverse is subject 
 to the philosophical schema of conjecture and criticism. And that criteria is ok because you&#39;ve already effectively eliminated science as a special case of something. Now it&#39;s all just popperian philosophy.</span></p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>The reason that&#39;s misleading the widespread &#39;misconception&#39; has never contradicted that &#39;criticism&#39; is aways available. It&#39;s just an obvious fact.....say...criticism of grammar. The grammar of the multiverse explanation is totally testable. </span></p><p><span><br></span></p></p>
