suffice to say, i am quite, QUITE very terrified by great ideas in contemporary physics. in addition to:

-Quantum nature of light and matter: wave-particle duality.
-Uncertainty principle: The end of determinism.
-Special/General relativity: the new conception of space and time.
-Paradoxes from quantum mechanics Bohr vs. Einstein.
-Particles and antiparticles.
-Fussion and fission.
-The Big Bang: Cosmological models.
-Black Holes.
-Fundamental forces.
-Symmetries in physics.
-Quantum cryptography: a technology arising from a paradox
