You think the scientific revolution was sticking to the presently knowable? No...look...falsification is a standard that's all. It's about the first step into incumbent knowledge. There's only one objective reality...incumbent knowledge is combined best effort so far. A new theory, if it's useful to that realm of knowledge, which is about objective reality..,.,.presumably can tell us something new about objective reality. That incumbent...people have died...blood is on the carpet. You don't walk into incumbent knowledge with a logical argument. You walk in with something BIG that everyone can appreciate is something new about objective knowledge. That's all the prediction is...in that first step. The inside of a theory is full of abundant predictions about itself. It's all just writing on a document. But when that prediction gets confirmed.....now those once tiny predictions within a document about itself, become the writing on the sky. So now they big huge things that...sure...everyone spends a lot of time on because they aren't predictions about other parts of a theory, they are predictions about other parts of what is written in the sky...or wherever...the brain. Based on existing knowledge? No....the prediction can be FORMULATED in terms of incumbent knowledge. It obviously DOESN'T just come from existing knowledge. That's what we're trying to filter OUT.
