Via solid rock.

No, and you'd need one to actually try the same distance with photons.

The complication is that the solid rock path is actually used as sort
of a filter for the neutrinos, nothing else goes through 730km bedrock
so if you see anything coming from that direction, you can be pretty
certain that it is neutrinos.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
