Simplified Meaning:
In science, not every idea or guess turns out to be correct. And that's completely fine because it's part of the process of discovering the truth. Think about when Thomas Edison was inventing the light bulb: he tried many different materials for the filament before finding the right one. Each failed attempt brought him closer to the correct solution. Similarly, when scientists come up with wrong ideas, they learn from them and get closer to understanding what is true. Mistakes are steps towards finding the right answers. So, being wrong is not bad; it's a way to learn and improve.
