Science itself a the painstaking extrapolation of the rules governing our universe by repeated trial and error. Every scientific discovery has been made by recording mistakes and pinpointing successes.

AnswerTwo significant mistakes or errors of the twentieeth century both involve cosmology and the creation of the universe.

Einstein himself recognised his great error in inventing the 'cosmological constant' - a factor that enabled light to travel in a medium called 'ether' although we now know that the ether does not exist.

Secondly Sir Fred Hoyle insisted that his theory of the 'steady sttate' was correct. This suggested that the universe had always been in existence and always will. However, despite many scientists agreeing and thus insisting that a creation moment as decribed in Genesis actually happened, the theory was disproved.

Wilson and Penzias discovered background radiation from what was called 'the Big Bang' thus proving categorically that a creation moment had happened. The steady state theory was shelved and Hoyle discredited.
