India To Build Neutrino Observatory

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 20, 2010 @09:18PM from the look-closely dept.

TeriMaKiChooth writes "Only the fifth in the world, the facility is being called one of the biggest and most ambitious scientific projects ever undertaken by India. About 90 scientists from 26 organizations will be involved in the Indian Neutrino Observatory (INO), organizers say. Neutrinos are elusive, nearly mass-less elementary particles, sometimes called 'ghost particles.'"

You're either a genius (who really has solutions) or someone who hasn't thought this through well enough.
Of course he has! He's going to use a neutrino beam that will clear out the pollution, fix the roads, and implant literacy into the populace!
Haven't you seen Star Trek? Neutrino beams fix everything!
