Quotes by David Wallace  (?)

“observations are theory-laden: even to describe an observation, we need the language of theory. ‘This detector will display the number 5.228’ … which detector? Only a detector built the right way—and ‘the right way’ inevitably involves theoretical ideas.”
David Wallace, Philosophy of Physics: A Very Short Introduction

“Traditionally, understanding the deep nature of the world was the task of metaphysics, but in modern times that understanding relies critically on our best physics theories—yet those theories do not wear their meaning on their sleeve. In this sense, philosophy of physics provides a bridge between the metaphysician and the physicist—or, put another way, philosophy of physics tells us how to do a metaphysics that is scientifically informed.”
David Wallace, Philosophy of Physics: A Very Short Introduction

“Falsification is a big improvement on induction as a description of the scientific method, but it is still only a crude approximation—a given observation usually only falsifies a theory given a host of background assumptions. So there is no simple, one-off test for when something is science:”
David Wallace, Philosophy of Physics: A Very Short Introduction
