Nomological danglers refer to phenomena or observations that cannot be adequately explained by a given scientific theory or framework. The term is often used in discussions about the philosophy of science, particularly in relation to scientific theories, laws, and explanations. When a scientific theory encounters data or phenomena that it cannot account for, these anomalies can be seen as "dangling" outside the theoretical framework. This situation may indicate that the theory is incomplete, flawed, or in need of revision.
