"most likely". You can quantify this, yes? With reason and evidence, something with a little more meat than base speculation?
Well, revelations of quantum physics, astrophysics and epigenetics (even with limited research) have shown our reality to be much different than previously assumed. You think it is likely that with further research we will go back to previous assumptions? You think it'll be like, 'nah, that was nothing', let's just forget about that stuff?
I think science will continue, just as it always has, to change our opinions of reality based on the findings/evidence.
