This means that regardless if two people have opposing opinions on a matter they are both correct in their opinion, and this is due to perception.

Popper uses Einstein’s theory because of the great risk in proposing this theory compiled with the probability of refutation. Popper proposed seven conclusions on his criterion of falsifiability. The first conclusion asks how easily a theory can acquire confirmations. Second, acquired confirmations should only be considered if the original prediction is measured as risky
