This is amazing
Omg I can’t believe the 3 Body Problem set design was accurate!?!?!
yeah, but they call it a cherenkov tank.. which exists and is also filled with water but is smaller and for a different thing (detecting cherenkov radiation)
@@La_sagne Actually, that's precisely how this works. It's a very large Cherenkov light detector built deep underground away from almost all causes of Cherenkov light, apart from neutrinos.
@@nagualdesign did they shoot it here? i wonder
@@Fusion-dl3ld I have no idea. I've never watched it.
Okay now tell me what neutrinos are.
The opposite of an anti neutrino.
it's a very small and very light particle that is very hard to detect because it (almost) doesn't interact with anything since it passes through (almost) everything that's in it's way (including our eyes for example)... if I'm not mistaken they created this chamber (=detector) in such a way that there's a lot of material so that when neutrinos pass through it (by the way countless neutrinos pass through the whole earth and it's elements (including people) constantly and if I recall correctly they come from the sun), as I was saying they created this chamber in such a way that there's a lot of material so that when neutrinos pass through it there's a higher than zero chance they will interact with something (=hit something I guess?) so that they can detect them.... it's like having extremelly small fish flowing down a river and due to you not having a fine enough net you put like 1000 nets back to back hoping a few fish accidentaly get stuck... (I guess a material that's even denser than water would work better than water on this detector but it would be massivelly expensive, while water can be found....well.......in the ocean that covers most of earth surface)
don't quote me on all this, those subjects are so complex I probably can't fully comprehend even the hypersimplifications those people give us..
You know those trails left by air planes that turn frogs gay sometimes?
the newest tech can be spotted when it moves....
Kudos 👏🏻 to all efforts 👍🏻 All the best for their future❤ you are doing great job for humanity 👍🏻
Amazing.
So cool.
I got to hold one of those bulbs before. It's the size of a beach ball. The scale of it all is insane.
we're doing something similar here in South Dakota. cool stuff.
This is 😱 spell binding 🔥
After 10 years, we reached a conclusion
The conclusion is... MAYBE
That’s how it goes sometimes. Better to invest in understanding than $1 trillion per year on shooting missiles at each other.
it's always maybe. that's what makes it fun :)
That's also how scientists usually talk. They usually don't do absolutes.
🤓♥️✨sending love to the team
Where’s the remaining 45 minutes?
10 years to discover that... "maybe"...
Finding can shed light to dark matter
"The leading particle dark matter candidates are: the axion, the neutralino, and a light neutrino species"
Anyone ever seen the movie Eagle Eye😊
Looks like the deadlights inside of IT.
What is up with that music you added? This is not a horror movie.
Eagle Eye intensifies
This video does a superb job explaining complex neutrino behavior in a way that's accessible and engaging. The significance of these findings is presented with clear enthusiasm!
Are we in Alaska?
Japan.
Detecting a shadow using light 🎉 not eyes
All those experiments will fail because of those two Sophons
There's nothing like antimatter

Like searching for the Hand of God! You'll never find it! You will spend heaps of money and your whole miserable life, trying to find it! But you'll ultimately die a destitute! That's why He has given us the Power called Faith!
As if your god needs someone to proselytize online for them
Your god isn't real.
This is not the place for spreading your mythology.
Nah, You'll definitely find it. Trust me, It's meant to be found. One day. If not by them then by those who come after them. It will be found. I assure you of that.
And nobody, neither you nor them, will die a destitute for they all would have served their purpose.
So that's what this does.. always seen pictures of this pop up and seen it in the show 3 body problem but never new what it did. Lol
