If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
A cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has detected strange radio pulses at steep angles below the ice surface, challenging current particle physics understanding. The signals passed through kilometers of rock before reaching the detector, defying expectations of absorption.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe radio waves that we detected were at really steep angles, like 30 degrees below the surface of the ice.
It’s an interesting problem because we still don
The anomalous signal had to pass through and interact with thousands of kilometers of rock before reaching the detector.
