Super-energetic neutrinos can reveal whether the universe's cardinal rule—the constancy of the speed of light—is ever broken.

The universe's fastest messengers—super-energetic neutrinos—could reveal a secret: are the laws of physics the same everywhere? If the speed of light shifts ever so slightly, detectors will spot an excess of one particle type. Future giant traps will test this with unprecedented precision.

🎯 Neutrinos are so elusive that trillions of them pass through your fingernail every second, hardly noticing you.
