If at the end of the combustion, the gunpowder continued dry enough, it took fire and exploded; but if it had been wetted by the water in the spirits, the flame of the alcohol went out without setting the powder on fire. This was called the proof.

- proof by contradiction
- A proof of the following sort (1): It is desired to prove A, so assume that A is not true, and derive a contradiction from this assumption. From this it follows that "not A" implies falsity, in other words "not not A" is true. From the law of double negation, it follows that A is true. Also, a proof of the following sort (2): It is desired to prove "not A", so assume that A is true, and derive a contradiction. From this it follows that A implies falsity, in other words "not A". Both sorts of proof are valid in classical logic but only the second sort is valid in intuitionistic logic.http: //plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-intuitionistic/

- the proof of the pudding is in the eating: see pudding. be proof against sth to be too strong or good to be affected by something bad. In logic and mathematics, an argument that establishes a proposition's validity. Formally, it is a finite sequence of formulas generated according to accepted rules. Each formula either is an axiom or is derived from a previously established theorem, and the last formula is the statement that is to be proven. The essence of deductive reasoning (see deduction), this is the basis of Euclidean geometry and all scientific methods inspired by it. An alternative form of proof, called mathematical induction, applies to propositions defined through processes based on the counting numbers. If the proposition holds for n = 1 and can be shown to hold for n = k + 1 whenever n = k (a constant) is also true, then it holds for all values of n. An example is the assertion that the sum of the first n counting numbers is n(n + 1)/2
