Hey wonderful Anton! Thanks for reporting about our discovery, it's a pleasure :) I am an astroparticle physicist and work on the KM3NeT telescope for more than a decade. If you want to create a follow-up video with more details, we have a very nice press kit with infographics, animations and some QnA :) Let me know if you need anything else...

100 trillion neutrinos pass through a bar. "Ouch!" one of them says.

To get a sense of how RIDICULOUSLY powerful this neutrino was, you can actually convert it to joules or even foot pounds. 220 PeV is about .04 joules or .03 ft pounds. These are units we usually use to describe events that occur on a normal human energy scale! Absolutely insane!

Thats crazy; a particle that might not weigh anything travels across billions of light years and strikes an atom on a detector placed down in the ocean just for that purpose. Wow.

Usually when I get high energy neutrinos I have to clean my graphics card.
