Did a black hole just explode? This “impossible” particle may be the evidence
In 2023, scientists detected a subatomic particle called a neutrino hitting Earth with an energy level so extreme it seemed impossible. No known cosmic process can generate that much energy. The particle carried about 100,000 times more energy…
