RE: Rising the Earth's temperature... with dark matter
lol that picture!
hm... how much energy is "produced" by all the particles that Earth absorbs inside (not athmosphere or ground)?
All those that nearly never get caught, like Neutrinos.
@pab.ink is definitely the best of the best. I usually don't post anything without an image from him :)
Note that if something escape without releasing energy, then it does not contribute to heating the planet.
What we actually know the sum of all contributions: the total heat flow is measured (those are the 47 TW I mentioned in the post). For the different components to it, I didn't find much particle physics information. The main contribution is coming from the mantle of the planet and there are only models explaining the phenomena.
For the neutrino side, I have actually found this non open-access article. It says that studying neutrino physics could allow to explain the observed flux of 50 TW. The neutrinos are indeed remnants of what is going on inside.
