What can neutrinos tell us about time?

What can Neutrinos tell us about time?

Why are you asking this about neutrinos instead of some other particle? What do you think is special about neutrinos in this respect?

 

[sciroccokid]

You tell me. I am curious in ICECUBE observatories relation to our knowledge of time.

 

[sciroccokid]

Is anyone able to make a connection here?

I don't think anybody understands the question.

JTBell asked a good question. Had you asked "What can pancakes tell us about time?" or "What can gym shoes tell us about time?" we'd be equally perplexed.

Haha, perhaps it is a bad question. I am producing a show on time and was curious if the Icecube observatory would reveal anything that would help us understand the fundamental nature of time.

For example, CMB helps us gain a clearer picture of the early universe and big bang. Which i turn, helps us understand some of the questions about time better. Did time have a beginning? & Why does time unfold in one direction?

Just curious if knowing more about neutrinos from the Icecube observatory's studies would shine a similar light on the issue.

Thanks Again,

nah these neutrinos are related to high-energy processes in cosmos, such as AGN, SN etc.
