Neutrinos from the cosmos hint at new era in astronomy
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22540352

An experiment buried beneath the ice of the South Pole has for the first time seen the particles called neutrinos originating outside our Solar System.

They are produced in our atmosphere and in the Universe’s most violent processes, but the IceCube experiment has seen the first “cosmic neutrinos”.

It detected 28 of the exceptionally fast-moving neutrinos – but it remains unclear exactly where they came from.

Any hint of crazy neutrinos?

There was an odd smell of ozone and sulfur dioxide on the way home earlier.

I got my name from the one of famous images

then looking at another one

I decided on crazy as the particles seemed to going all over the place, hence crazy

some neutrino cartoons

I’ve often wished you hadn’t. My daughter is christened “Elizabeth Neutrino” and as there’s some madness in the family I have to discourage her from reading your posts. I also dislike the science term “Sterile Neutrino” and the postings of another person who shall remain nameless but who also had “Neutrino” in his web name.

> the IceCube experiment has seen the first “cosmic neutrinos”.

Not the first, because two other experiments detected neutrinos from SN1987a in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Since then, not one supernova has been linked to neutrino observations, so we have to cope with the slight possibility that the SN1987a detection was pure coincidence.

Excellent.
