Nice work, must have been hard. But You though me something it would have taken me days to find out :) Thank You Sir

[S0uRxCHAMPAGNE]

well done, very interesting!

[itruque53]

Really well made, and specially for all to understand. You all are awesome!

awesome clip lad

Ha! I love the "time passing" sound while the electrons orbit!

I had a lot of fun making this video, and a great time during my late 2009 trip to the IceCube project at the South Pole. I realize there are a few errors in here, especially the numbers.  Now that they have just finished the construction, there are actually a total of 86 strings plus IceTop cosmic ray detectors.

thanks for all the kind comments!

Extremely Creative !

Good job, very clear and interesting!

Thanks, great info, and sounds like a great project.

Great video, thanks a lot, very enjoyable!

Excellent video

I must precise that ice (or water) is not really the detector but is a part of it.

The light produced by the Cerenkov effect cannot be observed in the opaque matter like the rock because it is absorbed . On the contrary, the water (liquid or ice) is very transparent and the detector can see the light(the ice is the detetor itself).We can also detect neutrino underground in mines but the detected light does'nt come from the rock.Rather, some detectors are built filled with water in the mine(the rock acts as a shield against the flow of particles that we do not want to detect).

Excellent video.

Why ice? I didn't get that part. Why not rock?

[mikefromspace]

Neutrinos fuel the movement of atoms, and in their passing paths crossing, quarks become stuck as they are built on a different fractal mass scale- thus have different resonance. Particles like bosons trap an atom. Black holes consume small particles like neutrinos, and spit out giant ones like bosons and tachyons.

I used to work at the SSEC at UW. This is the best explanation of this project I have seen! Great job!

[DeStoreMaendDerLeger]

Fantastic: funny and educational

I can't wait for a CERN follow-up ;-)

[AMORANDPAZ]

that is cool!!!!!!!!!!
