"Towards First Glimpses of the
Universe in Neutrinos"
With the exception of the Sun and
Supernova 1987A, no
astrophysical sources of neutrinos
have been detected yet.
However, emerging developments
give us great confidence
that "first light" on
extragalactic neutrino sources will
soon be attained by terrestrial
neutrino detectors. I
will highlight the prospects for
what we may learn about
what lies beyond the standard
model of particle physics
and about the dynamics of the
invisible universe.
