This is some work that I want to see in education. How do you validate if something is true or not.

A lot of times that will take physical tests. Or in the case of math/logic, tests to validate each line or validated sources of previously proved theorems

You use the scientific method. Make a guess about how the system works, do experiments aimed to show that's not the case, adjust guess accordingly, and repeat
This works only when the inputs and conditions are all the same. In the real world, that isn't really possible anymore for a lot of things, like data sciences operating within a large pulsating mass of live net.
