The CvB is the holy grail. But it is an insanely challenging detection problem. I think the (multidecade?) PTOLEMY experiment is the only serious proposal, and particle physicists I knew were pretty skeptical it could actually pull it off for SM neutrinos.

- initramfs 2y agoInteresting, I read about neutrinos a while back https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.14995 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.14995 https://www.universetoday.com/13052/do-advanced-civilizations-communicate-with-neutrinos/ https://www.universetoday.com/13052/do-advanced-civilization... (I was reminded of this recently after watching the Three Body Problem - Tencent's version, interstellar quantum communication)
- SaberTail 2y agoI used to work in neutrino physics, and I will consider myself lucky if I see a detection of the cosmic neutrino background in my lifetime (roughly the next 50 years).
