The discovery of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) Has got to be the holy grail of science DNA has helped and will help billions of people without it we would still be putting innocent people in jail and the guilty ones still on the streets also it would be harder to find cures for people with illnesses and to have transplants would be near impossible so in my view this has to be the best

Isn't that an oxymoron? 'holy grail of science' Are you saying we should organize scientists into a communal tool and strive for what the masses think is the right path to explore? Defeating aging? Easy, halt procreation.
To be or not to be? Lower parietal region.
A set of rules that everyone can live by? Wouldn't that be Grand.
A unified field theory is something else though.
I'll set my minions on that very conundrum right away...

This brings me back to my rant about Medicine and doctors; and how they are f****** up the world.
Darwin's Law - Survival of the Fittest
But what is modern medical science doing to the world? We're letting the weak survive, we put them back into the population to spread their weak genes. Doctors play god, defying nature, defying Darwin's Law, is mankind's evolution doomed?
Evolution, will we ever evolve when modern mecidine screws us all? Maybe diseases were born to kill off the weak so we can move to a higher plane of existence. With medicine, our evolution will be forever stunted. hahah k im done.

Grand theories of everything.
The others are easy and archiveable. I doubt the grand theories can be proven in foreseable future.

Finding an alternative energy source once fossil fuels are exhausted. All the other choices are great, but this will have the largest effect on all people worldwide.

I think there are several, but finding life outside of Earth seems like the biggie to me.

Maping all genes and what they do. The thing is, I don't think we should. It sounds great and all to think that we can prevent illness and death but there is a reason for it. We shouldn't mess with nature like that.
