Some real science, from the original paper:
“In addition to explanations that incite new physics, it has recently been suggested that the AAE could be explained by downward-going CR-induced EAS that reflected off of subsurface features in the Antarctic ice (Shoemaker et al. 2019). Another possible explanation could be coherent transition radiation from the geomagnetically-induced air shower current, which could mimic an upgoing air shower (de Vries & Prohira 2019).” - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.01737.pdf
There is nothing new, under the Sun.
Yep.thats the ticket.
Another post exposing the fact that post count does not truly reflect the quality of those posts in whole... lol

hmm....might be the first time I’ve seen flying saucers in camo
LOL. You win the Friday pool.
"The message we want to convey to the public is that a Standard Model astrophysical explanation does not work no matter how you slice it," Barbano said.
Are String Theory or Singularity parts of the Standard Model? I wonder what, if anything, Barbano would say the many new findings on neutrinos imply re: those theories?
Must be. It’s a World Record, I believe?
Pretty much. We're missing something big. I'm not even sure if the electric universe theories cover everything. The universe is a weird place, and God apparently has a sense of humor.
String theory isn't even wrong.
Youve seen non-cammo UFOs?
Flickers of ghostly new species of neutrinos.Oh fear not it’s only UFO exhaust it sells now days.
I neither stated nor implied anything about String Theory being right or wrong in and of itself. I was asking if current ideas re: String Theory or Singularity were part of the Standard Model, some elements of which are said in this article to be in jeopardy of being falsified by the current and recent neutrino discoveries.
So your terse answer, for which I am grateful nonetheless, doesn’t really relate to my question. Again, thanks for responding.
Thanks BenLurkin.
Three times since 2016, ultra-high-energy particles have blasted up through the ice of Antarctica, setting off detectors in the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment... those events along with several additional particles detected later at the buried Antarctic neutrino observatory IceCube don't match the expected behavior of any Standard Model particles... a team of physicists working on IceCube have cast heavy doubt on one of the last remaining Standard Model explanations for these particles: cosmic accelerators, giant neutrino guns hiding in space that would periodically fire intense neutrino bullets at Earth.
Will they finally bury the Standard Model, or just lick some more ass and kludge their way through?
I ran across something called the Rope Hypothesis, which, while very incomplete, offers some fascinating ideas that appear to fit perfectly with observed phenomena.
These articles are what I think of when I see smarmy technocrats like that @$$ Tyson.
actually, my response was more of a joke than anything else. I can't remember who originated the meme of 'not even wrong' regarding string theory, but it certainly fits, since nothing in string theory can be falsified. I think String theory is mostly mathematical masturbation. I don't think either string theory or singularity really fit the standard model. Could be wrong about that. This being FR, I'm sure that if I am, I'll be told so multiple times :-)
Only in the movies. :)
