Many scientists have 'made mistakes' and advanced science. Often this is called serendipity.
One example would be Christopher Columbus. He sailed, hoping to find a new trade route to the orient. He accidentally discovered a new continent, North America.
Alexander Fleming discovered antibiotics when a bread mold spore fell on to a culture of bacteria he was growing. The mold killed the bacteria. He is credited with discovering penicillin.
Charles Goodyear accidentally discovered that burning rubber with sulfur created a rubber that could withstand extreme heat without melting. This lead to the manufacturing of automobile tires that can withstand hot asphalt and high speed temperatures without melting.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean to say that if a hypothesis is scientific then there must be a means of proving it wrong?
This concept is known as falsifiability, a key principle in the philosophy of science proposed by Karl Popper. A hypothesis is considered scientific if it can be tested and potentially disproven through empirical evidence. This criterion helps distinguish scientific theories from those that are untestable or unfalsifiable.
How E equals mc2 was proven wrong?
E equals mc^2 has not been proven wrong. It is a fundamental equation in physics that describes the relationship between energy (E), mass (m), and the speed of light (c). Numerous experiments and observations have consistently supported this equation, including in particle accelerators and nuclear reactions.
Why did scientist agree one system of measurement?
Scientist agreed on one unit of meaure because for scienctist all over te world could conduct the same experaments without having to worry about getting the wrong meaurements. Also if they had different units when they meet they wouldn't be able to communicate their ideas.
What is a word science word for- a representation of an object or event?

Did Robert Millikan prove Einstein wrong on the Photoelectric effect?
No, Robert Millikan's experiments primarily focused on the photoelectric effect, but his results supported Einstein's explanation of the phenomenon rather than proving him wrong. Specifically, Millikan's work provided further evidence for the particle-like nature of light proposed by Einstein.
What other scientist proposed a wrong idea but advance science?
Sir Chatles Lyell.
What will a scientist do if their hypothesis turns out to be wrong?
The standard procedure is to admit your initial hypothesis turns out to be wrong and then proceed to explain why it was wrong and what really happened. Science is all about learning from your mistakes.
Why did Elizabeth Blackburn choose a career in science?

Prescient - having or showing knowledge of events before they occur.
what are the implication of wrong science?
Wrong science can have disastrous implications on what we do in our daily lives because science is the backbone of everything and the source of information for what we do everyday so wrong science also leads to wrong approaches solving problems
Why do police use forensic science?
The police don't use forensic science scientist that are part of the department do but to answer your question they use it so that they can clarify that their evidence is genuine and that it has some sort of connection to the suspect. or else they will arrest the wrong person :/

Can science be wrong?
