      I think probably the most important discovery was wave-particle duality. All matter can act like waves if you do tests to look for waves, and act like particles if you do tests to look for particles. Once physicists understood this, it opened the doors on so much more complicated science!

      I think the most important discovery of our time was Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin discovering the structure of DNA.

      This is the basis for all human life and how we store information in every cell of our bodies!
