Nobody explains this better that Feynman.
First we make a guess
Then we compute the consequences of the guess
Then we compare our computation to experiment.
If it disagrees with experiement **it’s wrong**. That simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make a difference how beautiful your guess is, how smart you are, who made the guess or what his name is, if it disagrees with experiement, it’s wrong.
