Dark matter
Matter that uses teh dark side of the force to survive. If you listen very carefully they sound like Peter Serafinowicz.
String theory
The theory that everything is made from strings, the Flying Spaghetti Monster prefers the theory that everything is made from Spaghetti, but that's close enough to strings that we shouldn't worry about it.
Quantum mechanics
Impossible to understand, just add zeros on the front.
The God particle
Very amusing to crash into protons in particle accelerators. Just don't do it when religious people area nearby.
