“Albert Einstein got it wrong. Not once, not twice, but countless times. He made subtle blunders, he made outright goofs, and his oversights were glaring. Error infiltrated every aspect of his thinking. He was wrong about the universe, wrong about its contents, wrong about the workings of atoms. Yet Einstein’s mistakes could be compelling and instructive, and some were even essential to the progress of modern physics.”
