Deep beneath the Mediterranean, a revolutionary telescope the size of a sea has detected a particle that should not exist. The KM3NeT experiment, while still under construction, has observed the most energetic neutrino ever recorded—a “ghost particle” so powerful it defies current theories. This landmark discovery may be the first sighting of a new type of particle, unlocking a new window into the universe’s most violent events.
