Think of all the nonsense you had to learn in psychology courses. none of which was testable. none of which was measurable. we had behaviorism, freudian psychology, all of these theories that you learn in psychology. totally untestable. now, we can test it, because physics allows us to calculate energy flows in the brain.

More From Michio Kaku

There will be well-testable theories, hardly testable theories, and non-testable theories. those which are non-testable are of no interest to empirical scientists. they may be described as metaphysical.
May Scientist Metaphysical
Some have said that the thesis [of indeterminacy] is a consequence of my behaviorism. some have said that it is a reductio ad absurdum of my behaviorism. i disagree with this second point, but i agree with the first. i hold further that the behaviorism approach is mandatory. in psychology one may or may not be a behaviorist, but in linguistics one has no choice.

'conservation' (the conservation law) means this ... that there is a number, which you can calculate, at one moment-and as nature undergoes its multitude of changes, this number doesn't change. that is, if you calculate again, this quantity, it'll be the same as it was before. an example is the conservation of energy: there's a quantity that you can calculate according to a certain rule, and it comes out the same answer after, no matter what happens, happens.

The method of science depends on our attempts to describe the world with simple theories: theories that are complex may become untestable, even if they happen to be true. science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification-the art of discerning what we may with advantage omit.
Art Science Simple
But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. and when they clash, then we know that there is a reality; something that can inform us that our ideas are mistaken.

If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.

Having children is my greatest achievement. it was my saviour. it switched my focus from the outside to the inside. my children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
