I wonder what definition of “largest” they’re using here? IceCube has a detection volume of a cubic kilometre. So… it’s pretty big in that sense. This looks like it will have more detectors, and therefore be quite precise, but I’m not sure that qualifies as largest.
Super-K is cool as heck. I was involved with a few people from SNOLab when I lived in Ontario, which I believe still has the best shielding of any neutron experiment (6km of water equivalent, in the depths of a nickel mine in Northern Ontario).
I performed detailed analysis to evaluate the structural integrity of the acrylic vessel built for the SNOLab which was filled with heavy water and floating in regular water.
I'm not understanding your question. Are you saying that there's no point in advancing our understanding of reality, UNLESS we can use it to cage a wish-granting genie?
We at least know that neutrinos exist, dark matter might be.... Okay I'm just going to leave that one alone because I'll talk for 3 hours if I actually get into it all.
This neutrino detector was completely built a loooong ago. It’s not new. I was a well planned build, not crazy. You can read *actual* facts about it in English here: https://www-sk.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/sk/
I've always been amused thst our early neutrino detectors found less then expected. The opening chapter if Arthur C Clarke's The Songs of Distant Earth has them failing which let's them discover that the Sun is dying... and of course this was written decades before the first neutrino detector was built.
I hope so too, because it's basically like standing in the middle of a field with a butterfly net and hoping a gnat gets caught long enough to see it's there
I'm looking at the upside. If it doesn't work, then that is a one helluva neat ruin for our post post-apocalyptic societies to find. "The ancients believed in an invisible and nearly undetectable god, known as New Trino. They built this seemingly impossible structure as a means of capturing and containing this god, and to observe this being. We know not what insights they sought to glean from this, but it must have been of great import to them"
I found this picture in a post on Reddit about the SuperKamiokande detector. It's a picture taken by the detector (underground, at night) of the neutrinos emitted by the sun. I thought it was pretty cool. I can't wait to see what the HyperKamiokande can do. https://newhumanist.org.uk/images/CCWEB-Sun-at-Night1.jpg
So this is technically a picture of the sun, in the neutrino spectrum? Yes I know I use that term wrong, but you know what I mean. Like if we took a picture in the UV spectrum.

The application of building and studying this phenomenon is going to be like... teleportation and instant transmission, right?

Not even remotely close.

Oh. I am under the assumption one of the applications of learning about subatomic particles is how to physically control them.

That's the old one. They're building a bigger one now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-Kamiokande

Lol so many people talking about this. Hope it works. Neutrinos are the ultimate hide and seek champions.

Theres already 2 other facilities in that area. The original, the next one that is ~10x, and now this one that is ~10x the previous one.

I only saw the first part of the rolling caption and I thought it said "WORLD'S LARGEST NEUTRINO"
Logion567
And yet (IIRC) the reason stars explode when their cores collapse into a singularly is from how many Neutrinos are generated!

If the field were filled with trillions upon trillions of gnats flying through your net at the speed of light every nanosecond

Wr already have neutrino detectors underground, the same way. Nothing new, this is just bigger and has better detecrors.

It’s insane to me how much effort is going into observing neutrinos globally. It’s as if there is another reason for it that we aren’t being told.

Wouldn't that be gravitons?
nobodyspecial995
We're not even sure those exist. Can't be good at a game nobody knows you're playing.

Not sure they exist? Doesn't that make them thr king of hide and seek by default? :D
