'I think it's artificial because there are no verification or falsification conditions for it'

you can not conceive of the existence of anything that can not be verified/ falsified.

But all scientific theory is predicated on assumptions that can not be validated. The basic unit of matter is the atom. Can that be proved to exist. Nope what can be tested is that accepting the presence of an atom relationships between atoms will create certain outcomes.
