Can neutrinos be behind “silent supernovas”?

Neutrinos are leptons with almost no mass. Those particles can travel through planets without interacting. And that makes them interesting. When. Neutrinos travel through particles or matter. Those particles take energy with them. Just. Before a supernova explosion. A star sends A strong energy burst. When. A large number of neutrinos travel through the star. The star loses a lot of energy in that process. This means that neutrinos take energy with them. That can cause a situation. There, the star loses its heat energy. And. The star falls because of gravity. If that neutrino burst is strong enough. 

That causes a situation. Where. That star collapses. Into a “silent supernova”. The silent supernova means that the star collapses without drama. When. A heavy and bright star collapses. 

An observer sees the star vanish. When. A neutrino burst is strong enough. There. It cannot form a shockwave. If. Neutrinos take too much energy out of the star. The shockwave formation takes too long. And when the star starts to collapse. The core collapses. And when that core turns into a black hole. It starts to pull material into it. This raises its mass. And the Schwarzschild radius increases. That can prevent the supernova explosion. The Schwarzschild radius. It is. The event horizon’s distance from the black hole's core. When. The black hole’s mass increases. The Schwarzschild radius increases. And if that radius is at the front of the shockwave. We see that star vanish.

The problem is that. Neutrinos don’t interact with magnetic fields. A laser accelerator. It can be. The only thing that can accelerate neutrinos. The magnetic side will transport protons to the atom core. That system can use beta-plus decay to produce neutrinos. 

"Physicists proposed a way to focus ghostly neutrinos into a laser-like beam, but new MIT calculations show that violent atomic recoil and the particles’ own quantum nature prevent the effect from taking hold." (ScitechDaily, MIT Study Reveals Why a Neutrino Laser May Be Impossible)

The neutrino laser would be an interesting and fundamental tool. But there are two main problems with that thing. The first problem is producing neutrinos. And one thing is how to moderate them. Beta decay can form neutrinos. But then. Those neutrinos must be collected. Beta decay is not easy to moderate. And without that ability. The neutrino laser is impossible to create. 

Neutrinos are an interesting thing. MIT researchers think. That. A neutrino laser will ever work. Theoretically, it is possible to create photon-accelerated neutrinos. The bigger problem is how to form neutrinos. That is the key problem in neutrino beam production. There is a possibility. To use nuclear reactors. For that purpose. But that makes those neutrino beams impractical. A neutrino beam travels through an atom’s core. It can. Make it. Possible to create quantum-sized black holes. The system could remove energy from atoms. 

If. A neutrino beam is possible. It could moderate plasma in a fusion reactor. But neutrinos are hard to produce. They are hard to control. But a neutrino laser can be the most fundamental tool in history. Making that tool is very hard. And maybe it will never be possible.
