Re: CERN researchers have observed and generated high-energy neutrino radiation
#2This is an awesome update. It was only in 2018 that a high energy neutrino was detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (funny name lol) that was traced back to its source, a blazar. This was a active galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center. That was the first time ever that scientists had identified the source of a high energy neutrino, and now scientists generated a whole new avenue of research in astrophysics with this. :)

I think that the unusual thing was that they identified extragalactic neutrinos.

IceCube also likes to name their events after Sesame Street characters, so you’d get things like Bert and Ernie events. Not sure if they still do since you eventually run out of characters.

Direct dosage isn’t the only possibility though. Could be used to start a nuclear chain reaction, for example.
We could also find a novel way to unlock the amount of energy required for direct lethal dosage, analogous to how we figured out how to split atoms

The energy of the IceCube neutrinos is 2 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than the ones detected by this experiment. But this is still cool because it's the highest energy neutrinos detected from man-made sources.

its possible you havent been keeping up with sesame street, because no they won't.
