Mysterious radio pulses beneath Antarctica defy rules of particle physics | The unusual radio signals were first detected nearly ten years ago by a special experiment designed to detect radio waves caused by cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.
It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming from beneath the Antarctic ice that appear to be inconsistent with the standard models of particle physics.
It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming from beneath the Antarctic ice that appear to be inconsistent with the standard models of particle physics. These exotic radio signals were first captured between 2016 and 2018 by NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) instrument, and since then, researchers have been hypothesizing plausible explanations. “It’s an interesting problem because we still don't actually have an explanation for what those anomalies are, but what we do know is that they're most likely not representing neutrinos,” said Stephanie Wissel, associate professor of physics, of the ANITA team.
