It was proved wrong that the world was flat. Could there be something as significant as that to be proved wrong? I think space travel at faster than lightspeed will be proved to be possible.

I don't think that's possible ever the way the universe works, much like travel to the past. Existence itself will not allow it, hence why time slows down the closer you approach to the speed of light stopping you from ever getting there. I think it will be something about medicine or food.

i hope that global warming is proven wrong,that it is perhaps a natural cycle pertaining to global alignment.but i doubt that will happen.the gov. wouldn't be able to tax us for it.

You never actually think about it until it's proven wrong. I guess mainstream opinion of history.

I think that notions in the physics community of how exactly time works will undergo a fundamental shift in some way, and yes, I know that is pretty vague.

I was thinking maybe they would discover that the current theory of gravity is wrong, at least in part.

Although 2012 being proved wrong may not be that major, it would be interesting to see peoples reactions after the date has past given we are still alive.

Same thing they always do. Go back to the drawing board, and think of another BS "doomsday" theory to spout.

There are certain physical properties that change the faster one goes that would appear to preclude faster-than-light travel, but "time slowing down" is not one of them. :P

Meh, after 2012 they'd just make another date for the end of the world.

I agree, the discovery of a "Theory of Everything" will likely shake everything up this century, like relativity did for the 20th, and evolution did for the 19th. So, I'm hedging my bets and saying it will be something to do with physics.

It sure would be nice if we found out that we had a misunderstanding regarding the laws of gravity, and that helped explain away Dark Matter and Dark Energy. It just doesn't sit well with people that >80% of the mass in the universe is invisible and undetectable.

Climate change hasn't even been provenand most scientists claim its false, itsjust douchebags trying to scare ppl

into buying harmful light globes.

I'm thinking alot of foods, drinks and substances will be proven as harmful as smokes (eg fast foods, processed foods etc)

Not trying to scare anyone :) live life to the full because a few weeks ago a world leading virologist claimed with the increase in population

and consumption we'll be extinct in a hundred years, so live it up!

Unless of course we find a way to bend space time to avoid its restrictions... which has been much talked about in both science-fiction and theoretical science-fact. There are levels to the universe that don't conform to Newtonian/Einsteinian physics, and we only have room to grow.

~~~

I doubt there will be anything that has been established proven "wrong" when it comes to science. Considering science is never closed off to accepting new evidence and adapting its theories to that evidence. The whole "world is flat" deal was a religious conception, held by the Church. People before the time of Christ knew the Earth wasn't flat, its just a misconception that became popular among the Christian elite and it stuck.

dec 2010 may not be the exact date of the alignment.nasa says it could happen between 2011-2018,some say it won't happen at all.others say we will have a polar shift.not sure what to believe.

It actually wasn't proven wrong that the world was flat. Recent scientists have discovered that the universe actually operates on a 2D planar system.....forget it, why bother explaining dimensional reduction on these forums.

Oh, there are currently 2 theories of the big bang, one arising from string theory that states where the big bang comes from and one that says the big bang is the one and only singularity. One of them is supposed to be disproved (or have evidence against) in just a few years by the Planck satellite.
