2/2 1) We shall not abandon scientific theories without a good reason to do so (such as finding fault with it or finding a better theory). 2) The game goes on forever and the scientist who declares he/she has found the ultimate theory is automatically disqualified.
1/2 “The Logic of Scientific Discovery” could have been more aptly translated as “The Logic of Scientific Research” imo. Not only is it a more accurate translation, but more importantly, Popper literally describes how research is a game with two basic rules:
