Einstein, ('God does not play dice' shown to be false by Quantum theory) Goethe, Gandhi, and hosts of other wise people and candidates for the honour of wisdom have held false beliefs about what they did and did not know.
Perhaps a necessary condition for being wise is that wise people think they have knowledge only when their beliefs are highly justified. Or, even more simply, perhaps wise people have epistemically justified, or rational, beliefs.
Some view Wisdom as Extensive Factual Knowledge, in this view she is wise if she
has extensive factual knowledge about science, history, philosophy, literature, music, etc.
According to this view a wise person is a person who knows a lot about the universe and our place in it
