Question - Falsifiability
This question provided a text on a theory of science - that all scientific theories are scientific theories because they are falsifiable. I do not recall enough about the prompt on this question to locate or recreate it, so I will instead direct you to an article by Karl Popper, a philosopher of science, entitled "Science as Falsification" and originally published in 1963. Please keep in mind that this piece is significantly longer than a standard GAMSAT prompt.

A. Broad and sweeping

Which of these is a scientific theory?
A. I only
