    I’m already disappointed that it didn’t tear a hole in time space, not just destroying this reality but also making it so that it never existed and never can exist. A bit of a missed opportunity if I’m going to be honest. Maybe next time chums.

    Trump turns off a completed wind farm while China completes decade long research platform. We are watching the seismic shift of technological progress from east to west in realtime.

    Aren’t neutrinos very small? They might have a tough time looking for the giant ones.

    Joking aside, it’s good to see progress like this, hopefully they share their findings openly.

      Any idea of what they are looking into? I always thought neutron detectors were for detection of nuclear activity.

        Here are some neat neutrino facts:

        • Neutrinos are incredibly difficult to detect.
        • There are many neutrino sources, although supernovae may be the most prevalent with 99% of energy released as neutrinos vs 1% as visible light.
        • Our sun radiates about 2% of its energy as neutrinos.
        • They travel at the speed of light and rarely interact with normal matter. So rarely, in fact, that 99.99% of neutrinos would pass through a 10km-thick slab of lead.
        • Most neutrinos pass through the entire earth without hitting a thing.
        • 1021 nuetrinos pass through each 1" x 1" area of your body per second and, on average, you have a 25% lifetime chance of interaction with a neutrino particle.

        Who knows what will be discovered!
