India To Build Neutrino Observatory

Posted by samzenpus on 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.'"

    Horrible film. I have to pretend to like it because my family gave me the DVD for my birthday. Now I know it was full of holes but that russian guy paid three billion bucks for three seats on a ship he could have built a smaller version of for fifty million. It just had to be at the top of a mountain and able to cope with rough water.

    And all those Indian people fleeing from the water. They could have walked to high ground and had a chance...

    Aren't you anxious to know if a really hot curry actually does emit neutrinos, or if it is hot because it somehow interacts with neutrinos?
