Antineutrinos don't interact with almost anything. They're just a bunch of wimps. They're harmless. Neat for mapping nuclear reactors tho.

informative but the name-calling was uncalled for

GenX scientists naming things. Was it a mistake? Maybe, but we’re having a laugh.

How is the map data obtained?

Edit: Looked up the article. It seems they took known geological data and calculated the geo-antineutrino flux map based on measurements from detectors in Japan and Italy. Reactor antineutrinos are calculated from the international atomic energy agency data and assumptions on antineutrino rates.

In short, this is just a distance-from-nuclear reactors map
