Neutrinos from both Galactic and extragalactic sources can provide a twofold opportunity for new discovery: (1) in their measured flavor mix and their energy spectrum, we can learn about the dynamics of their origins; and (2) in the interaction of very high energy neutrinos with terrestrial detectors (atmosphere, ground and underground ice and water), we can hope to detect new particle phenomena at parton-parton center-of-mass energies exceeding those of the Large Hadron Collider. Examples of each of these possibilities will be presented.
