This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

Higgs boson?

I still don't entirely understand why this is a big discovery. Most likely because of my lack of knowledge in physics and quantum mechanics, but to my understanding it was simply a missing piece to a greater puzzle, not so much the solution itself.

Obviously I'm probably wrong

I'd say something like Crispr, I know it's been around for a lot longer than the last decade but the big breakthroughs with it have come in the last 5 years or so iirc

That's a good one, forgot about that. It was discovered it was possible, but it was refined and a lot more accurate due to discoveries recently.

Big possibilities with that one

Yep, if they can make it work then gene-therapies will be a viable treatment for a lot of 'incurable' diseases. Provided the bleeding hearts don't start screaming about six trillion more at the thought of editing out cystic fibrosis genes from embryos.

Not only that but it would eradicate a lot of genetic issues that would potentially cause your children to receive it, basically removing carriers from the problem.

Which is crazy

I'd say the presence of liquid water on Mars is a big one.

That might be because it's still being researched at the moment, it'll probably be another decade or two before we see it being applied outside of lab tests.

If it keeps progressing I can see it being the equivalent of discovering antibiotics.
