Scientists Confirm the Existence of Cosmic Neutrinos

A team of Antarctic scientists has just verified the existence of cosmic neutrinos — tiny, energetic particles that might hail from far reaches of the Milky Way and beyond. And these ghostly little flecks of matter could hold the key to some of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos.

High-energy cosmic neutrinos are thought to be produced by some of the universe’s most violent agents, including black holes, supernovae, and the energetic cores of galaxies. Unchanged as they zip across space and time, these particles may represent something of an intergalactic breadcrumb trail, pointing us in the direction of any number of fascinating astronomical phenomena.

If only we could spot them. That’s incredibly tough, because neutrinos contain virtually no mass and no electric charge. And while the common variety of neutrinos — those produced locally — are abundant, interlopers from far away are very, very rare. But in 2013, we got our first strong whiff of the high-energy cosmic particles, when scientists working at the South Pole observed two potential neutrinos, fondly nicknamed “Bert and Ernie.” But the matter of Bert and Ernie’s distant cosmic origins remained unconfirmed. I mean I believe it, but apparently, it wasn’t enough evidence to convince the scientific powers that be....

” But the matter of Bert and Ernie’s distant cosmic origins remained unconfirmed. “

Yeah... well... they all look alike, you know.

follow the cosmic nutrinos trail.... and it may eventually take us to the local registry where O’s real birth certificate is on file

I can understand how they could be confused. If you’ve seen one neutrino you’ve seen them all.............

I don’t know about that. Neutrinos have to deal with issues of color in their existence as well. But they are charming nonetheless.

The Cosmic Neutrinos. Their hits in the late sixties were fantastic and that new fusion genre they forged was a real treat...I loved those guys. What was it? Five platinum albums?

It turns out the cosmic neutrinos detected were actually static electricity from a electric can opener.
Here are the scientists who discovered the electric can opener neutrinos.

The key paragraph for those just too, too, too busy to actually read the article:

"A study that appears today in Physical Review Letters solidifies the elusive cosmic neutrino’s hold on reality. Combing through two years of data collected by thousands of optical sensors sunk deep beneath the ice at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, researchers identified 21 high-energy muons. These are particles created on the rare occasion that a neutrino slams into something else. The existence of these muons, scientists say, is an “unequivocal signal” that high-energy cosmic neutrinos like Bert and Ernie could have indeed traversed space, unimpeded by planets and even stars."

I used to have a nice big bowl of Cosmic Neutrinos for breakfast, and back in those days, we used WHOLE MILK dammit, none of that 2% or skim crap!

See Hendrik Svenmark’s “The Chilling Stars”, his thesis is that cosmic rain falls on Earth during periods of a dormant Sun. This cosmic rain creates 2% more cloud cover which lowers the global temperature. When the sun is active, through spots or otherwise, a huge magnetic field shoots through the solar system that blocks this cosmic rain - leading to hotter temps for Earth.

The Green Slime Alarmists hate this explanation because it takes the heat off fossil fuels to turn a phrase.

[Red Badger]

For every neutrino created, there exists, also, one mesan. They travel exactly the same route as that of the neutrinos, neither faster, nor slower, ergo they are Parmesans.....................

[Nateman]

Not true. The first cosmic neutrinos detected came from a supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud in 1987.
