Wow super cool, didn't realize that was a possibility.
1000 TeV when we're currently at ~13 TeV seems like one problem. 1000km ring requiring ~10 Tesla powered magnets likely be another.
Those "technical difficulties" aside seems like aiming it would be a massive problem. Would need the beam to exit and that exit would have to be movable - realistically pointing "down". Not like you can take a beam like that and just turn corners, haha. That "2d" picture of it hitting through the earth is ms-paint level optimistic.
Would nuclear weapons be the only thing affected? Feels like it would be bad to be on the other end of this thing if the beam spread was too big.
- pmontra 3y agoTo aim the beam to targets on Earth you have to build it in space and be able to maneuver that pretty large Death Star. Probably just a ring instead of a sphere. The invisible beam is probably a non starter for movies. If somebody will put this idea on screen they'll find a way to make neutrinos visible.
