From the article:<br /><br />"After nearly 3 years of analysis it has been able to put upper bounds on high energy neutrino flux and thus eliminate many of the candidate models for high energy cosmic ray production."<br /><br />I'd be interested in knowing if there are many plausible models that did not got eliminated. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I'm sure the "Because Wayne is a putz" model survived unscathed.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Me too by the way.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

For expermint that went all to well,I belived this rushed and suger coated over to sound good.How many test did they do to "eliminate many of the candidate models for high energy cosmic ray production." <br />That the question I would like see.<br /><br /><br />"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy"
