"Places in England still using local mean time in 1875, and Niels Bohr delivers a talk on the latest in quantum theory, in this week's peek at Nature 's archive."
"100 years ago doi: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-025-03738-6 This article features text from Nature's archive. By its historical nature, the archive includes some images, articles and language that by twenty-first-century standards are offensive and harmful. Find out more."
Some locations in England continued to use local mean time in 1875, indicating uneven adoption of standardized time across the country. Niels Bohr delivered a lecture outlining recent developments and interpretations in quantum theory, reflecting active, evolving work in atomic and quantum physics. Scientific communication at the time carried cutting-edge theoretical debates to contemporary audiences. Historical documents from this period can contain images, terminology, and perspectives that are now regarded as offensive or harmful and therefore require contextual awareness when consulted.
