I really want to know what are the latest (i.e. last 20 years) theories in physics?
In astronomy, quantum, space-time, reality, chaos, information, thermodynamics, uncertainty, fusion ect. ect. ect.
What is the main idea and what are the consequences.

Thank you in advance.

Sounds terribly like homework.

Do you really need all theories of the last 20 years? That's a hell of a long list.

Have you done any digging yourself?
 
1.
I assure you this is not homework. You are welcome to invent any test for me (I'm a B.Sc in ME).

I will elaborate: Ideas form the last 20 years that are not basic general relativity, nor any old ideas in classical physics and not basic quantum mechanics.
By 20 years I mean ideas that are new but also those that had time to ripen.
Also I have in mind Ideas that are new, not common and have interesting consequences.

I'm contemplating graduate education (I have M.Sc. in physics in mind) and I feel that there are people in physics research that have ides that are common to them and are not widely known. Furthermore I am very interested in physics and I love it :)
