They hold the keys to new physics. If only we could understand them.

Remember this?

On 12 November 2001, about 6,600 of the photomultiplier tubes (costing
about $3000 each[13]) in the Super-Kamiokande detector imploded,
apparently in a chain reaction or cascading failure, as the shock wave
from the concussion of each imploding tube cracked its neighbours.
