Seems like fertile ground for coming up with something fun and interesting … a whole shadow universe that barely touches ours … but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

I watched Alien: Covenant the other day - it’s a ‘neutrino storm’ that initially disabled their ship (you can’t predict 'em, apparently)

that feels, perhaps not coincidentally … like it shouldn’t make sense … like neutrinos don’t really interact with normal matter, that’s kinda their deal, right … unless it was something to do with fusion engines or soemthing?

Yeah, it overloaded their energy collection sail. Though humanity solved M theory in that setting so maybe they can derive energy from neutrinos… somehow.

Yea interesting … maybe it makes quite a bit of sense (for sci-fi) … a gush of neutrinos (if that makes sense at all) would likely be unpredictable as they could come from some distant astronomical event but precede any other signs of the event occurring (such as light or other frequencies)

I can usually pass off on the dumb science, but that one still makes me mad.

“There’s a neutrino storm coming!”

“So?”

“Quadrillions of them per square meter!”

“So?”

“You don’t underst… Never mind. It’s over.”
