Not in principle unprovable (in the sense used by the Vienna Circle and
logical positivism). It is impractical at present. There is a difference.
In priniciple one could build a dam across Gibraltar now, wait 4000 years
for the water to evaporate, and then dig on the bottom. As you see, that is
impracticle, but not impossible. But then, I would point out that all
scientific views are unprovable. Scientific theories can only be
falsified, not proven. When predicted data is found for a theory, the
theory is CONFIRMED not proven. In that regard my views are no different
than the Laws of Newton.
