...mathematics...

"(...) one of the breath-taking sides of mathematics: that which might appear as the most abstract, brain-stretching, obscure notion, ends up being crucial to something unthought of and incredibly practical on a daily basis. (...)
It really teaches you to never dismiss any ida as being useless-you just never know. Sometimes it takes thousands of years before an idea has matured enough for it to be used to its full potential. "
