That's what the person who will get the *other* half of the "fortune" will tell you when you find them and have the sign a non-disclosure agreement.
I would be concerned however that if you have no idea of what the consequences of your discovery are, that its highly likely that it quite possibly has no useful value!
It's also likely that you will not be able to successfully obtain a patent if you cannot enunciate any concrete applications of your discovery, and an IP attorney will tell you that the only hope you have is to maintain it as confidential and proprietary information as part of a business that uses it (kind of like Col. Sanders secret recipe).
Good ideas are a dime a dozen. It takes real ingenuity to figure out how to make money off of them....
