Can we say definitively that something is wrong or right? , a professor of biochemistry and writer/editor of more than 500 books, discusses this topic. Asimov writes that there are circumstances that make “wrong” relative. Asimov discusses philosophy, geology, astronomy, and physics in this thought-provoking essay.

The basic trouble, you see, is that people think that “right” and “wrong” are absolute; that everything that isn’t perfectly and completely right is totally and equally wrong. However, I don’t think that’s so. It seems to me that right and wrong are fuzzy concepts, and I will devote this essay to an explanation of why I think so. For instance, quantum theory has produced something called “quantum weirdness” which brings into serious question the very nature of reality and which produces philosophical conundrums that physicists simply can’t seem to agree upon. It may be that we have reached a point where the human brain can no longer grasp matters, or it may be that quantum theory is incomplete and that once it is properly extended, all the “weirdness” will disappear.
