What Einstein theories have thus far been proven wrong?
In 2012 two physicists – James Hill and Barry Cox from the University of Adelaide in Australia – showed that Einstein's special theory of relativity can be logically extended to allow for faster-than-light motion. They were quick to point out that their finding in no way contradicts the original theory, but simply provides a new aspect of it.

James M. Hill, Barry J. Cox (2012). "Einstein's special relativity beyond the speed of light." Proc. of the Royal Society A, 468, 4174– 4192.
Almost immediately afterwards a group of scientists from Hungary showed that the transformations J. M. Hill and B. J. Cox introduced "between inertial observers moving faster than light with respect to each other are consistent with Einstein's principle of relativity only if the spacetime is two dimensional".

And in 2013 scientists from India found that "with the proposed Hill and Cox formulation for superluminal velocities … if an observer A in [inertial system] k moves back and forth on the x axis, observers in [inertial system] k' would interpret this as A is moving from past to present and present to past freely at will. Further, the Hill and Cox transformations do not maintain the constancy of the speed of light in directions other than the line of relative motion".

And so scientists found major flaws in the Hill and Cox formulation and Einstein was proven "right" again.
In 2011 physicists from the CERN laboratory in Geneva officially announced that subatomic particles called neutrinos might be travelling at a velocity faster than light.

f confirmed, this discovery could invalidate Einstein's special relativity and cause great chaos in physics because according to Einstein's special theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
So the obvious conclusion to be drawn: either the measurements are incorrect, or physicists must revise special relativity.

Journals reported the finding in sensational way. Universe Today wrote: "Oh, yeah. Moving faster than the speed of light has been the hot topic in the news and OPERA has been the key player. In case you didn't know, the experiment unleashed some particles at CERN, close to Geneva. It wasn't the production that caused the buzz, it was the revelation they arrived at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy around 60 nanoseconds sooner than they should have. Sooner than the speed of light allows! Since the announcement, the physics world has been on fire, producing more than 80 papers – each with their own opinion. While some tried to explain the effect, others discredited it. The overpowering consensus was the OPERA team simply must have forgotten one critical element".

Indeed they did, the results were flawed. The claim that neutrinos can travel faster than light has been given a knock by an independent experiment.
Two physicists, Cohen and Glashow, have demonstrated that "such superluminal neutrinos would lose energy rapidly [… by producing] electron-positron pairs (ν→ν+e−+e+). For the claimed superluminal neutrino velocity and at the stated mean neutrino energy, we find that most of the neutrinos would have suffered several pair emissions en route, causing the beam to be depleted of higher energy neutrinos. Thus we refute the superluminal interpretation of the OPERA result".
