I think nearly all physics experiment had a "correct" result and the result that the formula predicts overrules the result of the experiment. That style of making experiments doesn't teach believe in empiricism.

Indeed. The results of experiments done in first-year physics and chemistry labs routinely demonstrate that the laws of physics as we know them are clearly wrong. ;)
