Science is always wrong, it's just about knowing that. That's what makes science great, it knows it is constantly being corrected, sometimes in big ways and sometimes in little ways, as we slowly get closer to "the truth." Reaching for that truth is the impossible objective. If we ever think that we have found the truth, that is when we have stopped doing science because we have stopped questioning. Put another way, science is about finding the next less wrong view of the world. It will still be wrong, but it will be less wrong.
