Which of the following is false? a. Centuries of robust science has never shown the following theory to be “not true” and it became a law: "if two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other." b. In science when we are testing a claim p, we use the condition "if p, then q" and examine the truth value of q. Because of this we can prove p, when q is false. c. The ‘law of gravity’ used to be a theory once. It means that centuries of robust science has never shown it to be ‘not true’. d. None of the above.
