“Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!”

What does this mean in English, please?

It is a famous line used by Wolfgang Pauli. Literally in English "That is not only not correct, it is not even wrong." He used it to describe things which were so thoroughly mistaken, so completely nonsensical that they could not even be falsified -- they were even beneath being wrong.
