Most powerful 'ghost particle' ever may have come from a cosmic particle accelerator fed by a black hole
The most energetic "ghost particle" neutrino ever detected may have been blasted at Earth by blazars, suggesting that these events and their black hole engines are powerful cosmic particle accelerators.
Scientists have detected the most powerful neutrino, a subatomic particle often called a "ghost particle," ever recorded. This high-energy neutrino may have originated from a blazar, a type of active galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its core. Blazars are thought to act as immense cosmic particle accelerators, propelling particles to incredible speeds and energies.
This discovery provides strong evidence that black holes and their associated phenomena are capable of accelerating particles to extreme energies, offering insights into the most powerful processes in the universe.
