Has futurism science ever been wrong about “physical processes?”

Post by Maximum7 »

I know futurism can get things wrong in terms of predictions like how we thought we would all be driving flying cars and powering everything with nuclear BUT I was wondering if a futurist or theoretical physicists predicted something in science or nature; a process or mechanism that was proven to not work. The only example I can think of is cold fusion but something like the Penrose process (that we likely will not ever test as the nearest black hole is 3,000 light years away) may not be correct.
