One of the most interesting yet sadly least rigorous What-Ifs. He relies on simply scaling up a calculation in absorbed dose at the distance of one parsec. Neutrinos do not interact with nuclei the same way gamma rays do, and the effects of a particular amount of neutrino radiation on living tissue is unstudied and unknown. The paper he cites explicitly points this out but he ignored it.
- raverbashing 3y agoOf course it doesn't, I think that was given by the relationship between neutrino count and sieverts But make no mistake, there is such a thing as a fatal amount of neutrinos. It's just that's a supernova mind boggling amount, but it exists. They do interact due to the weak force, which is more than neutrons do (and a lethal dose of those is well known)
