You want some stuff to really puree your brain in zero flat....google up "String theory" and "Quantum Computer" ....
almost totally newly visited subjects in physics that deal with how the universe is built....and the applied technology might be....
1. computers using "Atomic" language that communicate with electron levels instead of binary cubits.....giving a computer millions of times more powerfull then today's mainframes
2. wormhole theory......yes wormholes may actually be created....and string theory may be the study that will predict when and where they happen.

String theory, when confirmed (and even before being confirmed) would change our perception of reality. Associated to the (possible) appearance of extra dimensions, we could imagine a whole new world opening up -- every point in the room we are in, we would then think of as a little ball, so small that we cannot see it -- but we would know it is there if string theory is confirmed. That is only one example of how knowledge can change our daily perception of our environment.
Today's computers, like a Turing machine, work by manipulating bits that exist in one of two states: a 0 or a 1. Quantum computers aren't limited to two states; they encode information as quantum bits, or qubits. A qubit can be a 1 or a 0, or it can exist in a superposition that is simultaneously both 1 and 0 or somewhere in between. Qubits represent atoms that are working together to act as computer memory and a processor. Because a quantum computer can contain these multiple states simultaneously, it has the potential to be millions of times more powerful than today's most powerful supercomputers.
