Do we think the FLP impossibility Theorem will ever be proven wrong?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_(computer_science)#The_FLP_impossibility_result_for_asynchronous_deterministic_consensusIn a fully asynchronous message-passing distributed system, in which at least one process may have a crash failure, it has been proven in the famous 1985 FLP impossibility result by Fischer, Lynch and Paterson that a deterministic algorithm for achieving consensus is impossible.
This impossibility result derives from worst-case scheduling scenarios, which are unlikely to occur in practice except in adversarial situations such as an intelligent denial-of-service attacker in the network. In most normal situations, process scheduling has a degree of natural randomness.
