Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge
Academic
Popper's 1963 essay collection elaborating the falsifiability criterion — how science advances through bold conjectures that survive rigorous attempts at refutation, not through the accumulation of confirmations. Şengör calls Popper's methodology the natural mirror of how good natural scientists actually work, and names this book alongside The Logic of Scientific Discovery as essential Popper.

Şengör recommends Conjectures and Refutations alongside The Logic of Scientific Discovery as the two Popper texts that best explain why natural scientists universally value Popperian methodology — because it mirrors how good science is actually done.

Popper's account of knowledge growing by conjecture and refutation is the epistemic core of Deutsch's own The Beginning of Infinity.
