SSO is engineering, not science.

Even though we're on an astronomy forum, and this was the year of the Cassini Mission and the Mars rovers, I would pick this discovery.

Discover did a top 100 list for 2003, maybe they'll do one for 2004. discover top 100

I think I saw an advert on the Science Channel for a show with Bill Nye ranking the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.

I think chocolate for coughing was a sweet discovery.

Here is the American Institute of Physics' list of the top physics stories of 2004. It includes Cassini, but also a lot of other significant results from the last year.

I have to agree with Disinfo agent. Some of the new medicines in production (for MS amongst others) are quite newsworthy as well. And the finding of Atlantis (in different places, no less!). 8-[

There have been a few threads about that on this board and on FWIS, I believe.
After checking, it seems it was only on FWIS. Whatever, it was first announced that Atlantis was on the coast of Spain, close to Gibraltar (on the Atlantic side, of course), and recently it was found near Cyprus, IIRC, on some very doubtful underwater 'pictures', by a very amateur archeologist.
So, to be concise, it was a lame joke.

Science magazine agrees.
Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

Perhaps that there were still some scientifically useful collectors retrieved, but the fact that it hit wasn't scientifically significant in and of itself.
