Disprovability in Scientific Theories: An Example

ok so say I falsified the theory by proving it boils at 90 degrees and this is evidence against the theory, do I need more evidence and how much more?

degrees. Statistical methods help determine whether the observed difference is due to random error or represents a genuine falsification of the theory.

Sociology of Science: Fleck's Contributions

Please explain: purely objective, universally accessible scientific truth

Purely Objective, Universally Accessible Scientific Truth

"However, the sociology of science, as exemplified by Fleck's work, challenges this view, arguing that scientific knowledge is, in reality, shaped by social contexts and group dynamics." yes but does Fleck actually argue that the scientific knowledge itself is relative to the social context or the creation of scientific facts are affected by the social context?

Fleck's sociology of science argues that the creation of scientific facts is affected by social context, rather than the scientific knowledge itself being relative.

how does this map out onto the Popperian and Deutschian view of philosophy of science?

Synthesis of Deutsch, Popper, Fleck

Please explain: Dynamic Process: Science is a dynamic process where scientists strive for explanatory theories (Deutsch), which are then tested through falsification (Popper). These processes are influenced by the social and intellectual environment of the scientific community (Fleck).

The statement "Science is a dynamic process where scientists strive for explanatory theories (Deutsch), which are then tested through falsification (Popper). These processes are influenced by the social and intellectual environment of the scientific community (Fleck)" synthesizes the key ideas of Deutsch, Popper, and Fleck regarding scientific progress.
