Wasn't there a time, not so long ago in fact (pre-1920's), where almost all your beloved physics models, beside Netwonian gravities, were wrong as well?

So Astronomy, as a "hard science", is around 100 years behind...what's the big deal with that?

newton was a bit wrong and we are still a bit wrong. where wrong means our models of reality are imperfect.
Even a lot of mathematical assumptions were wrong before Godel and Tarski.
