The Stern-Gerlach experiment, conducted in 1922 by Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach, was a groundbreaking test that revealed the quantum nature of atoms. This experiment showcased that electrons adhere to quantum rules and highlighted the peculiar phenomenon where the act of observation can influence the properties of a particle. The observer’s measurement of a particle’s spin seems to dictate the possible values of spin the particle can have in the future, underscoring the intricate nature of the quantum world.

In the realm of physics, we are accustomed to viewing ourselves as external observers of the physical system. However, the Stern-Gerlach experiment challenges this notion by demonstrating that we are intricately intertwined with the system we are observing. Initially, students may find this concept challenging to accept, but upon further reflection, they come to appreciate the surreal beauty of this quantum reality.

Reflecting on the current state of US science funding, the word “surreal” also comes to mind. The recent cuts to NASA’s budget and other scientific research programs have cast a shadow over the future of scientific exploration in the United States. This abrupt shift in government support for publicly funded research projects feels akin to hurtling towards a point of no return, akin to crossing a black hole’s event horizon.

The repercussions of these budget cuts are far-reaching, impacting the training of future scientists, educators, and science communicators. As the US government withdraws its financial backing for scientific endeavors, the global scientific community will undoubtedly feel the effects. The US has long been a key player in advancing research in fields such as particle physics, cosmology, and fundamental reality, and these cuts threaten to disrupt the progress of scientific inquiry on a global scale.

Attending the 2025 Natural Philosophy Symposium underscored the stark contrast between the pursuit of knowledge and the looming threat of funding cuts. While luminaries in the fields of philosophy, cognitive science, and theoretical physics delved into profound questions about reality and consciousness, the backdrop of dwindling resources for scientific endeavors painted a grim picture of the future.

As a scientist who has benefited from government grants and funding throughout my academic career, I am acutely aware of the pivotal role these resources play in shaping the scientific landscape. The potential long-term damage inflicted by these budget cuts is a cause for concern not only for US-based researchers but for the global scientific community as a whole.

In this pivotal moment, where the future of scientific exploration hangs in the balance, it is essential for us to recognize the interconnectedness of scientific progress and the need for sustained support and investment in research and discovery. As we navigate through these uncertain times, the resilience and ingenuity of the scientific community will be tested, but the pursuit of knowledge and understanding will endure.

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, an associate professor of physics and astronomy, and a core faculty member in women’s studies at the University of New Hampshire, continues to advocate for the importance of scientific inquiry and the preservation of funding for scientific research projects.
