Falsifiability is a key concept in science and critical thinking, which is why it’s the first rule in the FLOATER toolkit. Essentially, if we want to determine if a claims is true we must ask it it’s possible to think of evidence that would disprove it.
About FLOATER: The FLOATER toolkit provides a structured and systematic approach to evaluating claims. It's 7 rules--- Falsifiability, Logic, Objectivity, Alternative explanations, Tentative conclusions, Evidence, and Reproducibility---are based in critical thinking and scientific reasoning.
