A quick definition of negative proof:

Term: NEGATIVE PROOF

Definition: Negative proof is a type of proof that shows something is true by proving that it is not false. It is like saying, "I know this is true because I have checked and there is no evidence to show that it is false." Negative proof is often used in situations where it is difficult or impossible to prove something directly, so instead, you prove that the opposite is not true.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Negative proof is a type of proof that relies on the absence of evidence to support a claim or argument. It is the opposite of positive proof, which provides evidence to support a claim or argument.

Example: A person claims that unicorns do not exist. They provide no evidence to support their claim, but instead rely on the fact that no one has ever found a unicorn or provided any concrete evidence of their existence. This is an example of negative proof.

Explanation: In this example, the person is using the absence of evidence to support their claim that unicorns do not exist. They are not providing any positive evidence to support their claim, but instead relying on the fact that no one has ever found a unicorn or provided any concrete evidence of their existence. This is an example of negative proof because it is based on the absence of evidence rather than the presence of evidence.
