About This Quote
In the field of science, there are theories and theories. Theories are always changing, evolving and changing again with new discoveries.

For example, in the past, scientists believed that the Earth was flat. In reality, the Earth is a sphere and not flat at all. This is not an isolated incident where one scientist believes something that turns out to be false, but a common occurrence in the scientific community.
Scientists have been proven wrong on so many things so often, there can be no doubt that they don’t have it all figured out. In the end, there is no such thing as absolute truth so to speak.
