“It is moral to be amoral.” In her 1999 piece, Diana Schaub argues for a return to the values of the founding generation of America. She suggests that one of the reasons Generation X’s character decayed was due to the rise of tolerance and moral relativism. She feared that being “blindly tolerant of everything” would lead to the acceptance of heinous acts such as “slavery, human sacrifice, cannibalism, [and] genocide” because being “judgmental” and “discriminating” were viewed as sins.

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
