Scientific Progress

[Mark Knowles]

There is a good chance that we will never be able to read the VM text. 

• if we cannot find the way to break the code
  
• if the system used to encode is was imperfect, or like a one-way cipher
  
• if it has no semantic meaning
  
• ...
  

In any of those scenarios, most theories will be unfalsifiable. Without the solution to the text, it is much easier to think of theories that cannot be falsified than those that can.

Can you give examples of unfalsifiable theories?

It is also worth noting that Rene said that there are unfalsifiable theories and you are saying that there are theories which might turn out to be unfalsifiable.
