ANITA Detects Unexplained Radio Wave Pulses from Below Antarctic Ice: Implications for Particle Physics

ANITA Detects Unexplained Radio Wave Pulses from Below Antarctic Ice: Implications for Particle Physics

ANITA Detects Unexplained Radio Wave Pulses from Below Antarctic Ice: Implications for Particle Physics The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment has detected anomalous radio wave pulses originating from beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. These signals defy current particle physics models, exhibiting arrival angles inconsistent with standard interactions. The pulses appear to have traversed thousands of kilometers of rock, a feat theoretically impossible for known particles given their absorption properties. The observed angles are approximately 30 degrees below the ice…
