I like to think of scientific theories as having a certain "resolution", à la photos. Over time, our collective resolution over some domain increases. For example, Newton's Principia isn't wrong. Newton's gravity is just a lower-resolution photo than Einstein's; a first-order approximation to Einstein's second-order. And the day will come (or so Brian Greene et al. hope) when Einstein's general theory of relativity will be "falsified", and so on, because any human interpretation of reality is necessarily that: an interpretation. Theories just get more "granular" in the depth of their answers.
