The two biggies are quantum computers, but not ones operating at 30 kelvin, tiny devices the size of a brick with the computing power of several super computers. And fingers crossed, fusion will be made to be more than 0% efficient, thus solving the need for fossil fuel power stations. We'll crack quantum mechanics and gravity issues. Sidhe will hold the world to ransom with his antimatter bomb, for 1 trillion dollars.
how advanced do you thibk well get in the next 50 years?

Nobel Prizes:
Physics: "for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles"
Chemistry: "for his work on nucleotides and nucleotide co-enzymes"
Physiology or Medicine: "for discovering synthetic drugs such as antihistamines that block the action of biological amines"
