Your title is perfect, actually. "Radiation" is electromagnetic. Neutrinos are particles, like cosmic "rays". With 100 million events of your type, surely you could come up with one observation you can prove. No? Ah well. ;-) The redshifts noted are few because there haven't been that many GRB afterglows observed, unfortunately. Only a dozen or so since I got started in 1999. But those that were closely studied have an average redshift of ~1, giving a distance in the low billions of light years. And the redshifts are for intervening matter, for the most part, so the GRB was farther still. Tell you what. When you find some tangible evidence for your theory, feel free to post it on the new board, http://killdevilhill.com/astronomychat/wwwboard.html It's been a pleasure here, too. :-) Clear skies.
I own and operate a small observatory in SW AZ where I educate the public and do variable star research, including gamma ray burst optical transient location. xsdodder@hotmail.com Visit my website: http://www.stargazing.net/Astroman
