The data are beamed to astrophysicists around the world who look at the patterns of light for clues about the neutrinos that produced them. These super energetic collisions are so rare that IceCube's scientists give each neutrino nicknames,

So researchers who study autonomous systems are collaborating with philosophers to address the complex problem of programming ethics into machines, which goes to show that even hypothetical dilemmas can wind up on a collision course with the real world.

Tens of millions of years ago, a force of nature set two giant masses on an unavoidable collision course that would change the face of the Earth and spell life or death for thousands of species.

When we descend a bit further, we reach the zone where the deepest human structures lie, like ancient harbor walls and quays. We also see more shipwrecks sunk by storms, war, and collisions.
