🔍 Mystery of the Day: “Mysterious ‘Pulse’ from Beneath Antarctica”

• 
  
  

  Scientists have been baffled by a rare radio pulse detected about 25 miles above Antarctica. The signal appears to emerge from beneath the ice at steep angles — something that current physics and neutrino models cannot explain. 

  • Detected originally in 2006 by the ANITA experiment; similar anomalies surfaced in 2014.  
  • The radio wave seems to pass through rock and thick ice, which defies expectations of how particles and radio waves behave.  
  • Researchers have ruled out conventional neutrinos as the cause, opening doors to unknown phenomena or new physics.  

  This pulse remains one of the most intriguing cosmic mysteries — possibly pointing to physics we don’t yet understand.
