Miller, Tichý, and Grünbaum are philosophers. He definitely had a big influence on philosophy of science, but the question is to what extent he had an influence on science. The works of physicists before 1930 are so sophisticated that I honestly can&#x27;t imagine that they didn&#x27;t understand these ideas and more already. These weren&#x27;t some dark ages; the Michelson-Morley experiment was done in 1887!<p>The idea of falsification suffers from three issues: (1) it&#x27;s binary true or false (2) it&#x27;s asymmetric (falsifying a theory T vs falsifying the theory not T) and (3) it&#x27;s kind of vague what constitutes falsification. Bayesian incorporation of evidence into beliefs arguably gives a superior solution to the problem, and Laplace (1749 - 1827) was already fully aware of this.
