"Hypotheses non fingo" is a Latin phrase that translates to "I do not feign hypotheses" or "I do not invent hypotheses." This phrase is often associated with the English scientist and philosopher Sir Isaac Newton. It reflects his empirical approach to science, emphasizing that he did not propose untestable or speculative theories without empirical evidence. Instead, Newton focused on observations and the laws of nature that could be demonstrated and verified.
