Did you know that 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second without you even realizing it?
In this new episode, Christophe Pauly welcomes astrophysicist Kumiko Kotera, director of the Paris Institute of Astrophysics and co-founder of the international GRAND project, for a breathtaking exploration of multi-messenger astronomy. From classical light observation to the hunt for the most energetic particles in the Universe, discover how scientists are attempting to solve one of the greatest enigmas of modern astrophysics by using the entire Earth as a giant sensor.
How can we "taste" or "hear" the Universe instead of simply observing it? Why might detecting elusive ultra-high-energy neutrinos reveal the source of the most violent phenomena in the cosmos? How can a simple cascade of particles in the atmosphere generate a radio signal detectable by simple antennas? Dive into the heart of an extraordinary scientific adventure, filled with colossal technological challenges, ingenious creativity, and unexpected geopolitical obstacles.
