China turns on giant neutrino detector that took a decade to build

  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.

    That smile is going to be wiped right off your face when China actually finds a giant neutrino

      sigh time to rewrites the standard model of quantum physics again…

  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.

    Trump really has fucked everything up. America is falling.

      Good for the world in long term

  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.

    Well it’s a lab in China, and neutrinos are small, like viruses. So clearly they’re developing a quantum virus to destabilize the west. Come December, we will see the first cases of the ominous QUOVID-25.

    Isn’t it just bunch of water with some camera pointed at it

    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.
      • 10^21^ 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!

      These are neutrino detectors, not neutron, so they won’t be looking for nuclear activity with it, right?

      No sorry, I have to wait for the video. 👍

  Whenever you hear that name, think about Chinese spies in big companies stealing secrets. A few other such places too.

  Are they going to find out they’ve mutated again?
