- The NASA researchers have found high energy particles erupting from ice in the Antarctic region.
- The researchers believe that these particles are proof to parallel universe.
- The ANTIA detect radio pulses that are being emitted by Antarctic ice sheet.
- The neutrinos in the ice produce radio pulses due to Askaryan effect.
- Askaryan effect is the phenomenon where a particle travelling at a velocity faster than light in a dense electric medium.
- It is the first NASA observatory of neutrinos.
- Neutrinos are the only particle that reaches the earth unattenuated.
- Neutrinos are high-energy particles that pose no threat to us and pass through most solid objects without anyone even noticing.
- Neutrinos constantly bombard Earth and 100 trillion neutrinos pass through our body every second.
- Rarely do they interact with matter.
- But if they do smash into an atom, they produce a shower of secondary particles we can detect.
- It allows us to probe where they came from in the universe.
