Living in Nebraska means not having a lot in the realm of science happening around me. Usually, the only bright spot on that subject comes from the presence of Nebraska oldest non-theist group, REASON[1]. But the University of Nebraska recently did something newsworthy[2][3].
You cannot stop progress or science. Even in a red state.
The precise methodology of Richard Feynman’s famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been followed in full for the very first time.I'm not all that into the particulars of physics, possibly because I don't understand most of it. But I'm quite happy that there some who are into it enough, and understand it well enough, to have achieved this scientific landmark. I'm even happier that it happened in Nebraska.
