Given a set of observable facts, let's suppose that there are multiple hypotheses compatible with those facts that can explain them. Is there any way to tell which one of these hypotheses is ultimately true? Or are we doomed to use &quot;rules of thumb&quot; and heuristics to &quot;rank&quot; the hypotheses in an attempt to handle the uncertainty?
While studying I read about the principle of underdetermination of scientific theories. I made some researches online but I am more confused than before. I read about the Quine-Duhem holistic thesis, but I do not know if is the same as underdetermination.
