Question About the Scientific Method
April 3, 2014 at 1:01 pm
If an idea or theory has really good, elegant math to support it, everything makes perfect sense and lines up logically, but can't be tested, is it still "science"?

I read an article yesterday about inflation/multiverse ideas. Since we can't test it, at least yet, even though it's not "woo", is it technically pseudo-science? Can it be taken seriously?
