Hi, I'm wanting to become a theoretical astrophysicist when I'm older - I'm just wondering what things I can research about, anything should do it - I have a basic knowledge on physics and things that go on in our Universe but no background information.

Thanks!

You should research what interests you. Since your post exhibits the naivety commonly found in people that don't really know what they're getting into, just Google "astrophysics research topics" and start reading.
