Abstract

The article discusses changes in the principle of falsification in the course of interdisciplinary interaction of theories. We show that for closely related disciplines the falsification principle works without restrictions and that counterexamples discovered in one field result in a revision of theoretical positions in neighboring fields. However, for sufficiently distant fields, the revealed counterexamples do not bring to a revision of the theory and are behind the scenes.
