      <abstract>
        <p>We show how, via gravitational repulsion associated with the Schwarzschild solution to the field equations of General Relativity, the extragalactic neutrinos, IceCube-170922A and KM3-230213A, were accelerated to high energy and ultra high energy respectively. Our theory supports the presumption that a blazar is the source of IceCube-170922A. However, it does not support the presumption that a blazar is the source of KM3-230213A. On the contrary, it leads to the conclusion that the source possesses stellar mass. The muon neutrino mass has not been experimentally determined. Our theory predicts that it is in the range 0.030 to 0.092 eV, if the blazar TXS 0506+056 is the source of IceCube-170922A. If, however, the source is PKS 0502+049, then the mass of muon neutrino is: <inline-formula><mml:math></mml:math></inline-formula></p>
        <p>m=0.09136 eV</p>
        <p>. We also pinpoint the fallacy in the arguments of the critics of the concept of gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field.</p>

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>There are two fundamental questions of astroparticle physics that have yet to be answered. 1) What are the sources of high energy cosmic rays [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]; 2) How are high energy cosmic rays accelerated to such enormous energies. These questions are particularly acute for ultra high energy cosmic rays, &gt;PeV [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>]. Here, we answer these two questions for the neutrino events IceCube-170922A and KM3-230213A, whereby we narrow the range of the mass of the muon neutrino.</p>
      <p>In the second decade of the twentieth century, Droste [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] and independently Hilbert [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>] discovered that particles can experience gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field. See [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>] for the details of the history of this discovery. After decades of debate, in 1982, we confirmed the reality of this phenomenon by clarifying the difference between local and distant observers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. In 2017 we showed how gravitational repulsion is responsible for the acceleration of cosmic rays to the highest energy observed and we predicted that neutrinos would also be accelerated to ultra high energy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. In February 2025 this prediction was verified by the detection of KM3-230213A, an extragalactic ultra high energy neutrino with 2.2 × 10<sup>20</sup> eV [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>].</p>
      <p>Here we show in detail how KM3-230213A was accelerated to such energy via gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field and how IceCube-170922A was accelerated to high energy via the same process. We also determine the sources of these two neutrino events. Finally, we pinpoint the fallacy in the arguments of the critics of the theory of gravitational repulsion.</p>
      <p>In the next section, we review the basic theory of the acceleration of particles to high energy, 1 TeV to 1 PeV, and ultra high energy, &gt;PeV, via gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>] and add new aspects to the theory. In Section 3, we review the case that high energy cosmic rays are accelerated in blazars. In Section 4, we specifically discuss how a blazar accelerated the IceCube-170922A neutrino to high energy. The implications of our theory on the determination of the mass of the muon neutrino are discussed in Section 5. In section 6, we apply the theory to the acceleration of the ultra high energy neutrino, KM3-230213A. We discuss the origin of ultra high energy neutrinos in Section 7. In section 8, we refute the arguments of those, who oppose the theory of gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field and we also highlight work that embraces the theory and enriches it. Our conclusion is in Section 9.</p>

      <title>2. Acceleration of Particles via Gravitational Repulsion</title>
      <p>The basic assumption of our theory is that the gravitational field of the source of high energy cosmic rays is described by the Schwarzschild solution to the field equations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>] of General Relativity. It was discovered by [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>] and independently by [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>]:</p>

      <p>Up until the 1990’s it was thought that neutrinos are massless. Massless particles, which travel at the speed of light, can not be accelerated gravitationally. Therefore, our theory requires that both IceCube-170922A and KM3-230213A possess mass. There are three flavors of neutrinos: electron, muon and tau. Both IceCube-170922A and KM3-230213A are muon neutrinos [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">52</xref>]. The three flavors of neutrinos oscillate into each other. We do not take these oscillations in our calculations into account. The muon neutrino mass has not been directly measured. So we do not know the mass of the IceCube-170922A or KM3-230213A neutrinos. However, according to [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">53</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">54</xref>] it is not greater than 0.1 eV.</p>

      <p>Since we know the minimum, <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mn> 7 </mml:mn></mml:msup><mml:msub><mml:mi> M </mml:mi><mml:mo> ⊙ </mml:mo></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> , and maximum, <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup><mml:msub><mml:mi> M </mml:mi><mml:mo> ⊙ </mml:mo></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> , mass of blazars we can employ these mass values in Equation (26) to obtain the minimum and maximum distance these masses correspond to.</p>
      <p>We know for KM3-230213A <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi> n </mml:mi><mml:mo> = </mml:mo><mml:mn> 4.4 </mml:mn><mml:mo> × </mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 21 </mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msup></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> . Plugging in the minimum mass into the above equation we obtain: <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi> d </mml:mi><mml:mo> = </mml:mo><mml:mn> 4.21 </mml:mn><mml:mo> × </mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mn> 6 </mml:mn></mml:msup><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mtext> Gpc </mml:mtext></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> and with maximum mass <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi> d </mml:mi><mml:mo> = </mml:mo><mml:mn> 4.21 </mml:mn><mml:mo> × </mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 10 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mn> 9 </mml:mn></mml:msup><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mtext> Gpc </mml:mtext></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> . Why are these distances so large? The above equation is directly proportional to both the mass and distance, n, of the source. <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi> n </mml:mi><mml:mo> = </mml:mo><mml:mi> f </mml:mi><mml:mrow><mml:mo> ( </mml:mo><mml:mi> E </mml:mi><mml:mo> ) </mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> , whereby for KM3-230213A n is large because <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mi> E </mml:mi></mml:math></inline-formula> is ultra high. M is large for blazars. So two large numbers means the calculated distance is also large.</p>
      <p>So far the most distant blazar ever detected is: VLASS J041009.05-013919.88 (J0410-0139) with a redshift of 7.0 at about 9 Gpc [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>]. Even the most distance object ever detected, JADES-GS-z14-0, is at <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi> z </mml:mi><mml:mo> = </mml:mo><mml:mn> 14.1793 </mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> or at not more than 11 Gpc. These observed distances pale compared to our distance range for a possible blazar source of KM3-230213A. We conclude: It is highly unlikely that blazars are the source of the ultra high energy neutrinos.</p>
      <p>Next we apply our theory to stellar mass bodies to see, if they could be sources of ultra high energy neutrinos. We base our analysis on the following: 1) The exterior gravitational field of a spherically symmetric non-rotating star is the Schwarzschild metric. 2) All stars produce neutrinos. 3) The minimum mass of stars is: <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo> ( </mml:mo><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 0.72 </mml:mn><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mtext> - </mml:mtext><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mn> 0.75 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mo> ) </mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi> M </mml:mi><mml:mo> ⊙ </mml:mo></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">70</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>]. 4) The maximum mass of stars is: <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mo> ( </mml:mo><mml:mrow><mml:mn> 150 </mml:mn><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mtext> - </mml:mtext><mml:mtext>   </mml:mtext><mml:mn> 200 </mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mo> ) </mml:mo></mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mi> M </mml:mi><mml:mo> ⊙ </mml:mo></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">73</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">75</xref>].</p>
      <p><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref> is a plot of stellar mass vs. distance for KM3-230213A. The distances in the figure are many orders of magnitude below the values for blazars. We suggest a neutrino from a stellar mass body is likely the source of KM3-230213A.</p>

      <p>Our answers to our questions lead us to the following conclusions. None of the blazars within the positional error of KM3-230213A are the source of this neutrino. According to our theory stellar mass bodies can be the source of ultra high energy neutrinos, if they are far enough. In the universe there are many more stars than supermassive black holes and they may very well be the source of most ultra high energy neutrinos.</p>

      <title>8. Discussion</title>
      <p>The history of gravitational repulsion has been characterized by intense controversy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. Throughout this long history of over 100 years its very existence has been repeatedly questioned. As an example, responding to [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>], [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">76</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">79</xref>] all concluded that gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field does not exist.</p>
      <sec id="sec8dot1">
        <title>8.1. Response to the Critics of Theory of Gravitational Repulsion in the Schwarzschild Field</title>
        <p>Crucial for the understanding of gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field is the distinction between local and distant observers as elaborated in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. Among the above mentioned opponents of the theory of gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field only Grøn referenced this work. We showed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]: 1) local observers, whose measuring instruments are affected by gravity of the particle emitting source, cannot detect gravitational repulsion. 2) To the distant observer, who uses measuring instruments not affected by the gravity of the particle emitting source, gravitational repulsion can occur anywhere in the Schwarzschild field.</p>
        <p>According to [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">76</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">78</xref>] local observers using proper time, orthonormal frames, or horizon-penetrating coordinates never measure a repulsive force. Their results are correct. They correspond to our result from [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>], whereby local observers can not detect gravitational repulsion. But, they also conclude that Schwarzschild coordinates do not correspond to actual physical measurements, meaning the gravitational repulsion is simply a coordinate effect without physical reality. However, we assert this is not the case for the distant observer, who is in Minkowski space and detects gravitational repulsion.</p>
        <p>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">79</xref>] thinks that gravitational repulsion only exists if a body at rest experiences gravitational repulsion, which is not the case in the Schwarzschild field [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. We employ the term gravitational repulsion because it was used by both founders of the theory - Droste and Hilbert. It does not fit Gron’s understanding of the term. We could call the effect gravitational entanglement because like quantum entanglement it is a “spooky action at a distance” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B80">80</xref>]. But this term is already in use to describe quantum effects in gravity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B81">81</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">82</xref>].</p>
        <p>Those that oppose the concept of gravitational repulsion in the Schwarzschild field believe that the Schwarzschild coordinate velocity, <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mtext> d </mml:mtext><mml:mi> r </mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mtext> d </mml:mtext><mml:mi> t </mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> , has no direct physical meaning primarily because it may exceed the speed of light. Therefore, the physically meaningful velocity is the local velocity measured by a local inertial (or static) observer, constructed from proper distance and proper time, and this velocity is always less than the speed of light, which is in agreement with [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. However, in our theory, as <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref> and Equation (13) show, <inline-formula><mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mfrac><mml:mrow><mml:mtext> d </mml:mtext><mml:mi> r </mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mtext> d </mml:mtext><mml:mi> t </mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:mfrac><mml:mo> &lt; </mml:mo><mml:mi> c </mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math></inline-formula> for material particles. Consequently, the introduction of the different local coordinates mentioned above by those who object to gravitational repulsion is superfluous.</p>

        <title>8.2. Application of the Theory of Gravitational Repulsion</title>
        <p>Although, as discussed in the previous subsection, there is opposition to the concept of gravitational repulsion, others have applied the concept in various circumstances. Dickau, Kauffmann and Robertson employ it to solve the problem of the accelerating expansion of the universe (in preparation). [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B83">83</xref>] investigate gravitational repulsion in the Einstein-zero-mass scalar theory. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">84</xref>] discuss gravitational repulsion in an expanding ball of dust. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">85</xref>] considered gravitational repulsion in the Kerr-Newman anti-de Sitter spacetime. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">86</xref>] looked into gravitational repulsion in the Reissner-Nordström and Schwarzschild spacetimes. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">87</xref>] show that the emission of gravitational waves leads to a repulsive gravitational force that diminishes with time but never disappears. They speculate that the repulsive force may be related to the observed expansion of the Universe. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">88</xref>] point out that gravitational repulsion could appear in satellite experiments with beams of relativistic particles subject to very precise time measurements. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">89</xref>] points out that gravitational repulsion occurs in geodesics in a quash-spherical spacetime. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">90</xref>] investigates a number of aspects of the phenomenon of gravitational repulsion in static sources of the Reissner-Nordström field. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B91">91</xref>] study gravitational repulsion in the Kerr and Kerr-Newman fields.</p>

      <title>9. Conclusion</title>
      <p>Since Newton published his theory of gravitation in 1687, it is believed that gravity is only an attractive force, unlike the electric force, which can be either attractive or repulsive. However, in 1916, first Droste and then Hilbert independently noticed that in Einstein’s theory of gravitation, gravity can also act repulsively. The history of this discovery is in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>]. It has been well over a century since this discovery, yet the vast majority of scientists firmly believe that gravity is only an attractive force.</p>
      <p>We suggest the history of gravitational repulsion is similar to history of gravitational waves. In 1916, the discovery year of gravitational repulsion, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B92">92</xref>]. Like gravitational repulsion, there were doubts about their existence. In fact, even Einstein along with Rosen submitted a paper to the Physical Review, in which they argued that gravitational waves do not exist. It was not until 2015 that gravitational waves were detected, almost 100 years after they were first predicted. We suggest the theory of gravitational repulsion has and is experiencing a similar fate.</p>
      <p>The history of gravitational repulsion is characterized by intense controversy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>][<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. Throughout this long history of over 100 years, its very existence has been repeatedly questioned. Up until this year, the theory did not make a prediction that had been confirmed by observations or experiments. Now that the theory’s prediction of the existence of ultra high energy cosmic neutrinos [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>] has been confirmed by observations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>], the theory has achieved a milestone, that may be the first concrete step to its acceptance.</p>
      <p>Finally, we note that our theory suggests that stars are the source of ultra high energy neutrinos, not blazars, as is commonly thought. Since stars are so much more numerous than the supermassive black holes of blazars our results suggest that the detection of very high energy neutrinos like KM3-230213A will not remain a rare occurrence. That is, we predict its discovery is an opening of a new energy window in neutrino astronomy and many more such detections will follow.</p>
