What would you like it to be? 
The elixir of immortality? (but continue to age physically as well as chronologically)
The secret of eternal youth? (the scientific ability to stop the biological ageing process once you reach the biological age you'd like to be, but continue to age chronologically & eventually die as normal)
Time travel?
Intergalactic space travel?
Teleportation (Star Trek style... No more reliance on planes & trains)
Cure for cancer?
Something else?
*****
I fancy teleportation or time travel as that would be a lot of fun, but think I'd go for the secret of eternal youth cos I'm vain
plus I would be a billionaire if I market it as a pill or potion :cool:
In fact discovering any of the above would make you a very rich person

Id love to go into the past and see the dinosaurs, ancient rome to see the romans and gladiators, maybe see if this jesus stuff was real, see camelot/king arthur and his knights etc..
.
The Human Empire conquoring all before it, their warships powered by the Graathus Drive.
Or
Humanities descendants living in caves curse the name Graathus for bring the alien overlords to Earth and burning her cities.
Win/Win really.
I think there's more chance of perpetual motion than proof of a mythical character.
I think that there IS enough food to feed the entire world, it's outrageous that there are so many obese people in the UK who stuff themselves to death whilst watching reports about the starving in other parts of our planet. It should be about distribution and self control by those who live in an affluent society.
plus we can go back and see how the world was made all those millions of years ago. Finally get some evidence.
Bit harder - Time Travel
I suspect (as a layman) cold fusion may be worked out before too long. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was 'discovered' shortly before the announcment giving a date that the oil will run out.
They're not obese because they stuff themselves. It's their glands, they have a medical problem, it's a psychological thing, <insert own pathetic excuse here>
I think there's a lot of research into this, looking at leptin & that sort of thing. Definitely a realistic chance of achieving this in my lifetime.
You might meet God :eek:
Another good thing about time travel is being able to solve historical mysteries & know what really happened. And... Forward time travel to experience the future :cool:
.... but you're right of course! It's glandular, slow metabolism and nothing to do with the fact that they feed their faces, live on MaccyDs and Pizza Hut, that they're too fat and idle to cook decent food and survive on fast food, crisps and chocolate. A medical condition indeed - one that's known as acute idleitis and gluttony. Shame on them.
Think I saw a kids programme about it years ago but cant remember it years ago ....
You'd just freeze it whenever you want, and then resume whenever ... some much could be achieved by using this device, be it for helping the needy or for more pervy purposes !!
BERNARD!
On a more selfless level I would love to be the discoverer of the cure for cancer or AIDS.
