But until now, it wasn't clear if traveling through an object could also cause them to change flavor. In this new effort, the researchers have found that they likely do indeed, which means that sometime in the future, neutrino detectors could be used to learn more about the interior of our planet.

Hey did scientists ever figure out the issue when they first reported Neutrinos had traveled in excess of the speed of light?

It was due to errors and improper setup. Subsequent tests with neutrinos didn't show faster than light travel. en.wikipedia.org...

probably not at least for a long long long time. just like with light the star is a brilliant source and the planets only source is radioactive decay. so 99.99999999 etc percent of any neutrinos from that area will be from the star even though some of those will pass through the planet and be altered a bit. if you had sufficient resolution (number of neutrino detectors to make billions of pixels in an image) then maybe with the right filtering you could but there are two problems.

Figured as much.. I couldn't remember what the second outcome was.
Thanks for the response / info.
ETA - I am somewhat lost when it comes to quantum mechanics so I have a question (most likely a very stupid one) -
Would it be possible to "view" a planet by using Quantum Entanglement from the light emanating from it?edit on 15-3-2014 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
