ITT talk about DUNE

first of all, great experiment, very cool.

second of all, WTF fermilab. you guys literally posted this shit on your website:
>From neutrino oscillations to supernovas to proton decay, scientists working on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment pursue a broad set of research goals.

>Now the DUNE collaboration might have found a completely new application: the search for gigantic dinosaur skeletons that might be hidden in Earth’s crust.

>“Most paleontologists believe that the Argentinosaurus was the largest animal ever to roam the Earth,” said Professor Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago. “It probably weighed around 100 tons. But only a tiny fraction of animals ever get fossilized and discovered. It could well be there were dinosaurs that weighed 1,000 tons or more. With DUNE, we have the chance to find out.”

gigantic dinosaurs. really.
