In recent weeks, the results of a Fermilab scientific experiment have caused quite a stir in the scientific community. The experiment, which dealt with some of the fundamental particles of the universe, has the potential to change humanity’s understanding of modern science.

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to tour south Te Waipounamu (the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand).
