70 years ago, researchers proved the "impossible" was possible. 🌌 First predicted in 1930, neutrinos were thought to be completely undetectable. Despite being the second most abundant particle in the universe, trillions are passing through you this very second without a trace. But in 1956, scientists did the impossible: they caught the ghost particle. We're kicking off #Neutrino70 to celebrate seven decades of chasing the universe's most elusive particles. From those first historic experiments to the massive detectors we build today, the journey of discovery is only just beginning. Over the next few weeks, join us in celebrating the legacy of discovery, cutting-edge science, and the future of neutrino research. ✨ #Fermilab #ParticlePhysics #DUNEscience #PhysicsHistory #neutrino #physics #science #particlephysics #scientificdiscovery
