Abstract

This paper analyses the real origin and nature of scientific errors against claims of science critics by examining a number of examples from the history of electricity and optics This analysis leads to a conclusion that errors are a natural and unavoidable part of scientific process If made available to students through their science teachers such a knowledge would give students a deeper insight into the scientific process and remove their fear of making errors in their own laboratory work
