In a stadium, a hundred thousand fans each move to their own rhythm. But if a small group starts a wave, the whole stadium erupts in motion. It's the same with neutrinos in a supernova: an elusive flavor conversion seizes the entire core in a millionth of a second. Machine learning now predicts this avalanche from blurry snapshots of the crowd. The same idea may one day help control fusion plasma — foreseeing disruptions before they burn out the reactor.

🎯 If the supernova core were a football stadium, the region where fast flavor instability arises would be thinner than a spider's web — centimeters versus tens of kilometers.
