    There is a giant machine in Ohio … its just boring as fuck. They sunk giant rods in the ice. Thousands of them several hundred feet apart. They are there to measure nuetrinos.

    It consists of 5,160 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) attached to 86 cables (“strings”) sunk 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers deep into the ice.
