Whether a person acted in a morally right or wrong way depends solely upon the consequences of the act. In this scenario‚ more people benefited from the action because their lives were saved‚ thereby making it ethical based on the teleological or consequentialist principles.

Originally Einstein believed that the universe was static even though his mathematical theories suggested otherwise. It was not until another mathematician Friedmann‚ solved Einsteins’s equation of general relativity using the cosmological constant. Einstein referred to this mistake as being the “biggest blunder”
