Is one .5cm hyperintensity in am mri significant for a 30 year old. i have no symptoms, but am just curious.!

Probably not: Small hyper intense spots are frequently seen in the brain on MRI. Especially when in the white matter, they are knows as Virchow Robin spaces or perivascular spaces of no clinical significance. I would not worry about it especially since you're asymptomatic.
