Reply to ELI5: Why computer chips nanometers progress is gradual? Why can not the technology bump up to the lowest nm possible immediately since the concept and mechanisms of it is already known and studied by richiehustle
There's a false premise in your question. We certainly know in theory that shorter wavelengths of light allow for smaller features, but the technology to generate extreme UV did not exist and needed to be developed. Right now there's only one company in the world that knows how to do it

Inherit the Wind is a highly fictionalized retelling of the events, don't take it as history

Scopes' involvement in the so-called Scopes Monkey Trial came about after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced that it would finance a test case challenging the constitutionality of the Butler Act if it could find a Tennessee teacher who was willing to act as a defendant.
A band of businessmen in Dayton, Tennessee, led by engineer and geologist George Rappleyea, saw this as an opportunity to get publicity for their town, and they approached Scopes.

There is a story, possibly apocryphal, of the distinguished British biologist, J.B.S. Haldane, who found himself in the company of a group of theologians. On being asked what one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation, Haldane is said to have answered, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.”

The Supreme Court has a case before it regarding this very thing. We'll know in a few weeks if it's illegal discrimination

Reply to comment by voucher420 in TIL that in 1968 the US Navy proposed turning 2/5ths of Wisconsin into a giant underground radio antenna so orders could still be sent to submarines following a nuclear attack on America by DeadForDecember
It was an ELF, extremely low frequency transmitter. Those radio waves need extremely large antennas and a particular type of soil

It says right in your link that this is a repost

ASML is rumored to have spent $300 million and 5 years in developing extreme UV lithography
