As an example, I remember back in highschool physics we heard that some scientics just discover tychions travel faster than light. Well, it turns out that those scientists didn't have some piece of equipment plugged in all the way or something thus giving them those results.

The semi-recent room temperature superconductor reporting and all the buzz around the EMdrive are the two that spring to mind most readily.

My mind went to phosphine on Venus first. I'd forgotten about the EM drive, was always skeptical but hopeful on that one.

Oh right, it’s not that tachyons don’t exist it’s that those dudes at CERN were all like “bro we just picked up FTL travel, check it out lol”
