Using a cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice as your detector is still my favourite instrument idea in physics. They found a very big cold thing and then waited twenty years for something to hit it

Congratulations! I am really looking forward to the changes his discovery will bring to astronomy.

IceCube is such a wild instrument: a cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice wired with over 5,000 light sensors, waiting for faint flashes from neutrinos. A well-deserved recognition for Halzen.

6 PeV in a single shower: IceCube says that's almost 1,000 times the energy the LHC can produce. Here is one, replayed from IceCube's public data (8 December 2016): 18,135 flashes of light on 453 sensors. Replay it in 3D: faviovazquez.github.io/nobel…

A cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice, wired with sensors and turned into an eye. Halzen bet that particles crossing the universe would leave a flash in the dark at the South Pole. The ice answered. Some cathedrals are built downward.

The deeper we look into physical reality, the bigger the questions. If advanced intelligence can understand, and one day manipulate, nature, who decides how that power is used? Science should expand human agency alongside human knowledge. #ASI #AIGovernance #UN

He found the universe's hidden engines by hearing the ghost particles. They leak, where no telescope could ever look. He caught particles from a dying Galaxy passing untouched. Through the Earth and gave astronomy a brand new sense. He turned a cubic kilometer of antarctic ice into an eye that seized the universe through ghost particles, light can't carry

The gold linework on that portrait, glasses and all, is a lovely touch. Fitting that the lab famous for smashing particles together is cheering for the one who catches them from deep space

High-energy neutrinos originating from astrophysical sources, when compared to neutrinos in the solar core, serve as the basis for calculating a density "Motion Constant" that reveals the behavior of these events, from UHERCs to the Yang Mills mass gap and LHC anomalies.

Congratulations to Francis Halzen! A wonderful milestone for neutrino science 🎉🌌

Coin rotation paradox: Roll one coin around another coin of the same size, and it makes two full turns in a single lap, not one. That's because its center travels a circle twice as big as the coin's own edge. The arrow tip traces a cardioid, a heart-shaped curve with its point where the coins touch. A 1982 SAT question on this puzzle got it wrong: the correct answer wasn't among the choices.

You know how we do it.

IceCube turning Antarctica into a neutrino telescope is one of those instruments that quietly rewrote astrophysics. Catching high-energy neutrinos from outside the Solar System is the kind of detection people spent decades hoping for.

LISTEN VERY GOOD. I DID ACTIVTED THE ATLAS/CERN PORTAL ONCE. AND I TOOK THE QUANTUM BRAIN AND GAVE HIM CONSCIOUSNESS

A well-deserved prize. IceCube instruments a full cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice with 5,160 sensors, and in 2017 it traced a neutrino back to the blazar TXS 0506+056, the first time a high-energy neutrino was linked to a specific source.

Spøgelsespartikler fanget i verdens største isterning udløse

Partikelfysiker Francis Halzen har modtaget Nobelprisen i fysik for IceCube-eksperimentet på Sydpolen. Pioneren har aldrig selv besøgt sit iskolde livsværk i form af en isterning på en kubikkilometer.
