There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That’s perfectly all right: it’s the aperture to finding out what’s right. Science is a self-correcting process.

About This Quote

It is not always easy to know if a prediction is correct. The process of science is always improving the knowledge, and the scientists are constantly looking for new ideas. Every time they come up with a new hypothesis that will explain the findings, they have to put it to the test. If that hypothesis does not fit, then scientists have other choices.

This quote by Albert Einstein probably implies that many hypotheses are wrong. However, Einstein also said, “The only thing that interferes with my thinking is my thinking.” If you have no other choice but to believe something because it makes sense to you, then you can consider that it might be right.
