Good luck generating a 1000 TeV neutrino beam with that flux. Currently, humanity is at 6.5 TeV for protons, which are easily acceleratable because they're charged. Neutrinos have to be produced through a fixed target collision setup which translates only a small fraction of the original energy into neutrinos. So I dare to predict that by the time we can have such a beam we have wiped ourselves out with nuclear bombs.


Not to mention you'd have to know where to aim your neutrino beam...


This article adds nothing to common knowledge everyone with a bachelors degree in computer science is completely aware of. Can anyone tell me what I missed? Or where is the reason why this post is trending among people whose background I cannot grasp?


What got you "convinced that Metternich would have been a Brexiteer"? The fact that Metternich didn't like empires seems hardly enough for such an important statement. What would Metternich have had to say about all the other negative consequences, like isolating a country, putting it at the mercy of another empire (USA), just to name a few? Brexit seems to be more like a revolution of the working class, something Metternich would have deeply distrusted.
