The Relativity of Wrong (essay)

"The Relativity of Wrong" by physicist Isaac Asimov explores how scientific ideas improve over time. It explains that errors in science are not simply right or wrong but are steps toward greater understanding. Early models, like Newton’s physics, were "wrong" in some ways, but still useful and an important foundation. As science advances, these models are replaced or refined, showing that our view of truth is relative to current knowledge. Therefore, what seems wrong now may become valuable as a stepping stone in the ongoing pursuit of understanding the universe more accurately.
