unfalsifiable. Especially when talking about empirical proof, and being<br>

at least to be my conclusion.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is mostly mine too - with the caveat that I believe there have been some interpretations that have been falsified.

When it comes to superdeterminism, far back in this thread, it needed<br>
hidden variables that per definition would always be hidden, and when it<br>
comes to MWI, it postulates separate universes beyond our (current)<br>
scope, and thus are not falsifiable.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep. Hidden variables don't necessarily not exist, they're just hidden.</div></div></div>
