No I'm sorry that is simply not true. Science is a process of generating theories that have hypotheses that we can test. If we make observations that are inconsistent with the hypotheses then we know the theory is invalid.
i.e. We know for a fact that general relativity and quantum field theory are mutually exclusive, and therefor "wrong". But until we come up with a theory that unifies them they are usefully "wrong" and so we keep them.
