Godel's Theorem. I consider it the most important thing I learned as an undergraduate.
It states that any system of logic strong enough to encompass number theory is either incomplete or inconsistent.
If it is incomplete, then that means that there are truths of mathematics that can never be proven. This blew the minds of a lot of mathematicians.
If it is inconsistent, then it means that mathematics is based on a lie and cannot be trusted. Obviously, mathematicians don't believe that it is inconsistent -- but the implication is that we must make a leap of faith to believe that mathematics works.

E=MC2 and how it impacted the atomic age! That one got me big time.
