My favourites are all facts of existance - that is they are discovered facts that govern the universe.

1.  e=mc^2

2.  The sum of the squares of the sides of a right-angled triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse.

3.  The Planck length and time units.

4.  The concept of Spacetime.

5.  Umm... probably the second law of thermodynamics.
