o consideration when attempting verification, but to assume that the "realm of the given would not be touched" for whatever hypothesis has been stated makes no sense. All scientific statements need to be tested for truth and adapted to particular situations, in order to completely and logically verify whatever scientific facts are presented.
             Schlick points to Einstein's concept of time, which is nothing more than a statement on spatially separated events -- events that occur either simultaneously or directly after other events. To do this, one must explain what is meant by the statement that events can occur simultaneously, and this can only be done by demonstrating how it can be verified. The problem comes with the realization that the verification cannot be shown without establishing the meaning. One excludes the other -- a statement only has meaning if it can be verified; yet it cannot be verified if one cannot explain what it means.
             The meaning of one scientific statement, therefore, cannot be defined by a single verification. It has to include other circum
