- The particles look like ultra high-energy neutrinos. But ultra high-energy neutrinos shouldn't be able to pass through the Earth.
Sorry, the LiveScience article sounds like more Trump-era garbage science. - Quote :
- The paper has not yet been peer reviewed and was published January 8 in the arXiv database.

- To neutrinos, the Sun is transparent, and large amounts of them move out into all directions of space at nearly the speed of light. About 3 million billion solar neutrinos enter every square meter of the Earth’s surface facing the Sun every second, and pass out through the opposite surface unimpeded. Each second there are about 100 billion ghostly solar neutrinos passing through the tip of your finger, and every other square centimeter of your body, whether you are indoors or outdoors, or whether it is day or night, and without your body noticing them, or them noticing your body. At night they go through the entire Earth before reaching you.
