    Solution

    The sentence suggests that the discovery was important and led to further research. "Milestone" means a significant achievement or breakthrough, making it the most appropriate choice. "Dilemma" means a difficult situation, which does not fit. "Paradox" refers to a contradictory statement, which is unrelated. "Hazard" means a danger or risk, which does not match the context. "Downfall" means a decline or failure, which contradicts the positive tone.
