amanojaku Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Re: Antarctic "Ice Cube" Observatory I hope they're not working anywhere near where the blob was dropped back in the 50's. Hate for it to get loose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Re: Antarctic "Ice Cube" Observatory The fun part is that the detector software is set to investigate only particles which came from below, that is, are coming out having passed through the Earth. The neutrinos from overhead are completely swamped by cosmic rays, but the Earth stops those coming from the other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Re: Antarctic "Ice Cube" Observatory So they hope that seeing the neutrinos better will help them to understand how dark matter works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
