## Metadata
- Author: [[Isaac Asimov]]
- Full Title: The Relativity of Wrong
- Category: #articles
- URL: https://hermiene.net/essays-trans/relativity_of_wrong.html

## Highlights
- What actually happens is that once scientists get hold of a good concept they gradually refine and extend it with greater and greater subtlety as their instruments of measurement improve. Theories are not so much wrong as incomplete.
- Naturally, the theories we now have might be considered wrong in the simplistic sense of my English Lit correspondent, but in a much truer and subtler sense, they need only be considered incomplete.
