Physics Guy@physicsguyA machine-learning program called SPINE is on the trail of neutrinos, nearly massless particles that barely interact with ordinary matter.
Studying them could help answer major questions, such as the nature of dark matter and why matter exists at all.
Science Channel@thesciencechannelAbout 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second, and you never notice.
These "ghost particles" barely interact with anything. That's why IceCube buries thousands of light sensors in Antarctic ice: on the rare occasion a neutrino hits an atom, it leaves a faint flash of blue light. This year's Nobel Prize in Physics honours that hunt.
