Stephen W. Hawking

[Reinaldo Ramirez <rrramirez@cantv.net>]

In his book A Brief History of Time, Dr. Hawking, says:

Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only 
a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the 
results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure 
that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the 
other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single 
observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory... Each 
time new experiments are observed to agree with the predictions the 
theory survives, and our confidence in it is increased; but if ever a 
new observation is found to disagree, we have to abandon or modify the 
theory

How this concept could be related to Dr Deming's  Theory?
