This is bullshite.
Read for yourselves:

What you can learn today is, that if you use a microscope “the other way around”, something big is imaged into somethjng small on the focal plane.
Zeiss, a company that manufactures a shitton of optical stuff, has a very successful semi-conductor branch. That branch started off when some engineers from the microscope-department fiddled around with " inverted" microscopes during their lunchtime to create the first optics for lithography from Zeiss.
Source: i worked there. I know those engineers.
Well, just to give a different, albeit also wrong, perspective (from a middle-european society):
Anyone that emigrated to the US after 1850 is not a native…so 70% of y’all are immigrants.
For me it is always a bit hilarious to read how immigrants are bitching about not letting too many immigrants in “their” country.
And as i said… I know my point is wrong to start with, but i am honest and aware about my biased view. Something more people should or could be.
