>A Star Trek episode from 1966 has a ''quasar-like object'' as a plot point
>The term 'quasar' was first coined by an astrophysicist in 1964, and quasars were not even known to exist before the 1950s
What other scientific discoveries entered common consciousness relatively quickly?

you could get an actual answer asking a chat bot and no one would care to talk about that kind of thing around here. You need to ask dumb but non trivial questions on sci, not smart but trivial questions.

Room temperature superconductors and cold fusion. Too bad they both turned out to be fake.

Muon-catalyzed fusion works, and actually works really well… we just don’t have any way of efficiently generating muons in high enough abundance to make it practical.

LK-99 has a lot of political issues around it, but it's been verified to work. Unfortunately, chinese communists paperclipped it, so they also have it.

Your info seems to be somewhat out of date. The superconductivity of LK-99 has failed to be validated by experiments.

What's amazing is Microquasars exist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro
Which were unknown until relatively recently. The enhanced CGI effects used an artists rendition of a Microquasar for the bluray episode. "The Galileo 7" where the Microquasar is seen.

I don't know, someone mentioned LLNL verified it and then went completely dark.
