As mentioned in Kevin Casto's comment, this question is almost a duplicate of <a href="https://mathoverflow.net/questions/35468/widely-accepted-mathematical-results-that-were-later-shown-wrong/56964">Widely accepted mathematical results that were later shown wrong</a>.  As I mentioned in an answer to that question, R. B. Kershner's paper "On Paving the Plane," <i>Amer. Math. Monthly</i> <b>75</b> (1968), 839–844, announced the classification of all convex pentagons that tile the plane. Kershner said that "The proof&hellip;is extremely laborious and will be given elsewhere."  The proof was wrong; Richard James III and Marjorie Rice found counterexamples in the 1970s, Stein found another counterexample in 1985, and Mann&ndash;McLoud&ndash;Von Derau found yet another counterexample in 2015.  The classification of all such tilings remains an open problem to this day.
