Neutrino Astronomy: Can You See What I See? | Jim Madsen | TEDxUWRiverFalls

Neutrino astronomy may sound like an overwhelming topic, but Jim Madsen puts discovering an intense astrophysical neutrino flux into terms everyone can understand.
Jim Madsen is the chair of the physics department at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and an associate director of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, where he leads the education and outreach team. He has deployed three times to Antarctica, and presented science talks on five continents. He enjoys providing opportunities to participate in astrophysics research that range from one-time talks for general audiences to extended research experiences for teachers and students, including field deployments at the South Pole.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Nice lecture. Thanks!

[@MohammadArifRahim]

Excellent presentation with analogy to disturbance and detection. Really a eye opener. Nice work Mr. Jim Madesen. We want to hear more from Ice Cube. -- Arif from Bangladesh.... (if the people density had any effect on your glasses, you will surely have seen a dark blob on your telescope)

[@b1aflatoxin]

A little slow at first, but ended up being an informative talk. Thanks :)

[@EDUARDO12348]

Neutrinos are the second most abundant particle behind photons, its incredible to imagine what we would see with "neutrino eyes"

[@abel3557]

Neutrinos are smaller then a string is the smallest or planck lenght

[@jackhammer8061]

“Can you see what I see” Is a hilarious title for that thumbnail lmao

[@deepakhem]

That was awesome.... 👍

[@dikhed1639]

What kinds of things are there where we see all those points at the end of the talk? I want to know.

[@DANIELCRUZ-sq3ds]

I can see neutrinos

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

I hated that film and that hook line was supposed to make us all feel sad for the little boy but i was just thinking this is one of the crappiest movies I have ever seen. What a flop!

[@danieljakubik3428]

A different approach to try to capture the elusive neutrino particle which rarely interacts with matter. The Japanese have the best approach in my opinion with their neutrino detection pool deep underground which blocks most of the many other particles coming from the sun and from space.

[@DANIELCRUZ-sq3ds]

on sunny days I can see them better, looks like drizzle tai flying in every direction

[@donfox1036]

DANIEL CRUZ , no that’s drizzle flying in every direction..

[@tantiwahopak101]

100 trillion every second through the body 😱

[@chalupa501]

Watch "QUANTUM MASS GENERATION" for a new scientific paradigm.

[@DANIELCRUZ-sq3ds]

[@sywaddr11]

Outside of earth is not empty, they are not distributed, not vibrate. Quantum world suppose to be so.

[@RhettWinthrop-StGery]

What if neutrino beam scores a direct hit on someone, maybe the President or VP?

[@Michael18599]

All his detectors are at the bottom in the plane looking up. How does he get a three dimensional image then?

[@adambosley1485]

if one detector sees a full column, and the adjacent detectors see a partial column at the same depth, extrapolation and interpolation of data will provide 3-dimensional representations of emitted light

[@lain11644]

okay?

[@jacobmine5477]

Right?

[@nicparker3809]

29 years late pal

[@PrivateSi]

Irritating start. I'm not fully convinced neutrinos exist but the overall body of evidence seems to confirm their existence.

[@leenalsayeh206]

i shouldnt have came here after calculus

[@redglazedeyez6652]

i hate speeches that interact with the audience.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Yes. especially when they do disco antics. I just want to get into the problems and ponder what may be truth. I want some evidence of a multiverse before I die. But due to abrupt climate change I believe it will be before I grow into an old wiser man and may never know!!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Scientists who are not in teaching are not necessarily great public speakers. That is not a core skill.

[@Chrosam]

Dead audience..
