"There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable.
It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will."
[Albert Einstein, 1932]

He was right. There wasn't the slightest indication that it would ever be obtainable at that time.

It wasn't until Fermi's breakthroughs proved that it could be done that they first had that indication.

I doubt Einstein would have predicted space travel or mapping the human genome either.
