Physicists Claim This $2 Billion Experiment Can Tell Us Why We Exist

Fermilab has spent almost $2 billion on its Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Physicists have claimed that the experiment is worthwhile because learning more about neutrinos will tell us why we exist, why the universe hasn’t disappeared, and why the universe is full of something rather than nothing. None of that is true.
Correction to what I say at 4:47: hylogenesis is the name of the first proposal with one X-particle, not of the last with three X-particles. Sorry about that.
