Physicists at CERN's LHC have directly observed high-energy electron and muon neutrino interactions in the teraelectronvolt energy range.
And just think, all of it is some kind of thing we found in the ground, punched slapped and burned the shit out of to varying degrees, and made it DO THINGS!
SCIENCE things!
With so many various teams involved with every step of the project, from planning to construction to operation, I wonder if any one person truly understands all of how each piece works to do the things they do.
I've always liked the idea of calling it teaching rocks to think, but maybe it's more like using rocks to teach math to think.
Using lightning!
You cannot convince me science and technology aren't just magic by any other name.
You bring up the question of whether it's the rocks that think or the math that thinks using the rocks... What are we when we think? (meaty bags of mostly water propped up on calcium sticks that makes it's own lightning to think?)
