Objective Direct and Indirect Evidence, and Subjective Inferences

Photons are a quantum particle, and your eye does a pretty good job of verifying their existence. There are plenty of light detectors used in science.

Jim:

Well I had in mind elementary particles. But would that be considered empirically verified? You don’t actually see it, just it’s effects.

@T_aquaticus

Would you say that empirical measurement is an example of independent verification?

Seems like it would be, yes.
