- cypherpunks01 10y agoI'd say it's likely that the most significant discovery of the past 8 years hasn't gone too far past the initial discovery phases. CRISPR is a good example of a discovery that has just come into the public consciousness in recent years, but history for that dates back 20 years! LIGO & Higgs boson too, decades upon decades of research have gone into these.
