From a science perspective, where do you see the next big leap coming from?  (Sputnik moment from Obama)

I'm curious on what the scientific community is most excited about.

Personally I'm excited about the level of research being done at CERN, but unable to grasp what the potential discoveries will mean for my life, or for anybody else.

I see excited postings from various sources each day about this or that new thing being discovered, but which ones are really exciting and which ones aren't?

I have to say that science doesn't usually come by leaps and bounds.  Most of the genuine, non-sensationalistic science out there takes a lot of hard, grueling work for a lot of years by a lot of unsung heroes grinding away at a problem until some rando from the media suddenly thinks it's a great story to pick up on.

We're learning new things all the time - our body of scientific knowledge doesn't grow by leaps and bounds.  We push outwards, slowly, in all directions.
