The Essence of Science
As Richard Feynman explains in this 63-second video, "If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong." This quote, by the way, doesn't do justice to Feynman's emphatic explanation, as he makes some other statements around that one that are simplify and profoundly correct. You really should watch the video.
