Top 3 facts that would blow the facebook generation away?

In summary, the top 3 facts that would blow the Facebook generation away are: 1) We have actual pictures of atoms and can observe them at the subatomic level.2) The concept of matter waves and how they relate to the probability of observing particles.3) Special relativity and the idea of length contraction, which challenges our understanding of time and space. Bonus fact: One of the founders of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin, renounced his US citizenship to avoid taxes on the value of his share of the company.

I think a few people are missing the point of the OPs question. The "Facebook" generation don't have a clue about Einstein, or relativity, or muons... Need simpler facts that they can understand.

I am one of the facebook generation (it became popular in my mid-teens but before that myspace and MSN were ubiquitous) and the suggestion that we need simpler facts or that there are 3 things that would specifically blow us away over any other demographic is both foolish and insulting.
