In my experience, Science and Nature papers tend to be short (less than 10 pages, if that). You need to have discovered something pretty interesting to get your paper accepted, but not necessarily a breakthough - just something that will change the way we look at a subject. It also helps if you are well-known in your field - that way, they have more reason to trust your conclusions (although it will be refereed by at least 4 professionals in the field).
