Possibly, but it would join other false conjectures such as Euler's sum of powers conjecture - posed in 1769 and no counterexample found until 1966. There's only been three primitive counterexamples found so far.

(I got that from https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/514/conjectures-tha... which features some other false conjectures that may be of interest to you)

Not even the same implications. All empirical evidence strongly support the Goldbach conjecture. Any counterexample would mean an entire field of Mathematics has to be rewritten.
