China is undertaking a massive scientific endeavor by constructing the world's largest "ghost particle” detector beneath the western Pacific oceans surface named the Tropical Deep sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) or “ocean Bell” in Chinese.
Neutrios, often referred to as Ghost particles, are subatomic particles with zero mass and no electrical charge. They pass through matter with minimal interaction, making them notoriously difficult to detect. These elusive particles can be traced back to ancient cosmic events like stellar explosions and galactic collisions when they are slowed down.
A pilot project for TRIDENT is scheduled to begin in 2026, with the full detector coming online in 2030.
