I think it's likely that relativity and quantum mechanics will be reconciled by an information-centric theory--which could easily come out of computer science.
We call some patterns of energy "information" (like an algorithm) and other patterns of energy "matter" (like a proton). It seems to me that the recent mathematical study of information could be extended to cover matter as well.
Information theory is also a much younger branch of study than physics, which would seem to indicate a longer runway for fundamental discoveries and applications.
