"(4:46) So when you're designing your new theory, what you need to know is that the gold standard of proof is to make a testable prediction and then have this prediction verified by an experiment, by an observation." David Sloan
That is only so for equations, i.e. relationships between measurable categories. But the equations can't explain why the numbers, that apply to the categories in the equations, would ever start to, or continue to, move/ jump/ change.
The MOST IMPORTANT aspects of the world, the aspects of the world that actually move the world (i.e. move the numbers), can only be represented algorithmically, and so they are not testable.
