   Quote:   
   "A theory can thus be recognized as erroneous if there is logical   
     error in its deductions, or as incorrect if a fact is not in   
     agreement with its consequences.   
     But the truth of a theory can never be proven. For one never   
     knows that even in the future no experience will be encountered   
     which contradicts its consequences; and still other systems of   
     thought are always conceivable which are capable of joining   
     together the same given facts."
