The Relativity of Wrong (1989)
Summary: In "The Relativity of Wrong," Isaac Asimov argues that right and wrong are not absolute concepts but rather exist on a spectrum. He uses examples from history, such as the flat Earth theory and the spherical Earth theory, to demonstrate that while some theories may be wrong, they can still be closer to the truth than others. Asimov emphasizes that scientific theories are often refined and extended over time, becoming more accurate as our understanding and measurement tools improve. He concludes that theories are not so much wrong as incomplete, and that it is essential to recognize the relative nature of right and wrong in our pursuit of knowledge.
