India To Build Neutrino Observatory
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.'"

yuck yuck
I do not see how this type of project is sanctioned by the Indian government.
Half the population is living in slums
Most parts of the country have only intermittant electricty
There is almost no safe water (by Western European standards)
The majority of the population is functionally illiterate.
The roads are amongst the most dangerous in the world
Pollution (air, water, and waste) is a HUGE problem
I suggest that this money could be better spent addressing those problems
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?
