| Verifiability: Verifiability in science refers to the fact that statements or hypotheses can be verified through observations, experiments or reproducible methods. This testability makes it possible to determine the correctness or incorrectness of a statement through empirical evidence and thus to include it in the framework of scientific investigations. See also method, verification, falsification, verificationism, experiments, verification._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
