It's amazing to me that we keep coming up with increasingly precise, nuanced models, and, despite their measurable successes, we keep succeeding in finding a hole in the fabric we've woven. Remember Newtonian physics? That stuff was/is beautiful, elegant-- and still is what I'm going to use to examine car crashes and most of trips to the moon. The next time someone comes up with a "Well, that explains everything," the rest of us will look for holes. Our current fabric-- "the standard model"-- is so good the holes are really small. And we keep trying to peer through.

Super well researched! But you might want to be careful with throwing around that neutrinos have "antiparticles", as that's still an open question. A lot of particle physicists think that they might be Majorana fermions, which means that they are their own antiparticle, and if that were the case it would also help explain the mass issue.

I'm looking forward to the next neutrino episode that you promised!

"Why Do Neutrunos Have Mass ?" I don't suppose I can be first (before watching the video) to say, "Because they're Catholic."

Very nice video. I'm almost finishing my physics degree and it's the first time someone explains this well how strange they trully are. Guess I know what to research now in ma own time ...

This was really interesting! I’m afraid I got kind of lost - I wish there was a little more about what neutrinos are - like, maybe how they’re different from other particles structurally... I’m not even sure exactly what to ask, I just felt like I needed more explanation about the topic before I could think about the stuff you presented here - but I know it’s a complicated topic... I guess I just need to know more about particle physics in general, so, I’d totally watch if you made more of those episodes!

Very good. A lot more content . Understandable

Always look forward to seeing these videos.. keeps me busy during these crazy times. Plus as an added bonus I've learned more about covid-19 from this channel than the us government

Yo this is so amazing. Before the 80's we didn't have this much information available to us at the click of a button. And here we are right now learning about the fundamentals of our similar shared perspective of reality. Bomb af.

clear explanation...use of text beside speaker is good.

Interesting, thanks

I'm not too proud to admit that I have no idea what Stefan was talking about, but I do like the word neutrino :)

Super interesting! I know very little about physics, let alone particle physics, but I feel like neutrinos are connected to dark matter...perhaps even dark energy. Might even be the product of either of those interacting with energy similar to the Sun. I definitely think learning more about neutrinos would help us understand the expansion of the universe. Hopefully we find out some day soon.

Wow! That must have been extremely difficult to make accessible to the layman. Thank you.

“So why didn’t everything blow itself in the very beginning?” “Nobody knows!” That’s pretty much how a standard particle physics conversation ends eventually lol.

In Massless Neutrino Rehabilitation chapter of my Time Matters both experiments about neutrino oscillation are revisited and explained that oscillation in time was incorrectly interpreted as "carrying time" or "having mass".

Mmmmm. Neutrinos. Sounds like a breakfast cereal for physicists. Light, less filling. They come in flavours too? I'm sold.

One fact I always thought was fascinating is that 99% of the energy released by a supernova is in the form of neutrinos. That’s “gravitational energy”, which I think I understand to mean that 99% of the energy thrown out of the star is in the form of mass as neutrinos with their kinetic energy. That’s in contrast to the amount of energy released as photons or more familiar subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, electrons. Neutrinos are obviously subatomic particles, too, but it surprises me that they contain most of the energy released in a supernova.

somehow, after all these years, i never once listened to the scishow intro with headphones in. it actually sounds pretty good

He said 'We don't know' 18times That alone explains why neutrinos are Badass

I love how science is like "Ayt...let's establish a standard and a set of principles....Done? Good. Now let's find ways to break it"

I hope we get more updates soon

Sounds like a job for PBS Spacetime Nevertheless the you did a great job dissecting a very complicated subject. I learned a few things which is always great and you guys are good at it

Super-heavy right-handed neutrinos could be dark matter (or at least some of it) since they don't experience any force but gravity. The idea that they are not fundamental but are akin to hadrons is just utterly mind blowing- but yeah, I could see that making a lot of sense.

Now I have AcappellaScience's parody of "Madness" stuck in my head.

This should have been a series of maybe 7 videos

Nice budweiser add

"Neutrinos are weird little particles" is the most exact and complete definition I've ever heard.

Should do a video on Wakefield accelerators they can do some crazy stuff but on the scale of table top gear

Best content

Could the right neutrinos breakdown into the tau and mau neutrinos? Like a form of decay from an unstable structure?

Everything I learned about Neutrinos, I learned from Major Carter on Stargate SG1, The Crystal Skull episode :)

Thanks for the video to feed my brain can I get another’s

Very nice video! Just a couple of thoughts: I didn't get where the idea of the seesaw come from. What is it based on given that the neutrino behaviour described in it is different from that of all other known particles (and its much heavier counterpart is still only theoretical). Also while correct to state that a particle and its anti-particle annihilate when come in contact with each other, that specifically means that they're converted into photons, aren't they? I mean do they just destructively interfere with one another leave nothing after them, or do they convert and emit their total energy somehow (ie as photons and/or something else) ?

@RobinDSaunders

There'll always be other particles released, but I think they might not always be photons (though the most well-known examples are).

Imagine someone accidentally creates material that directly reacts with neutrinos and it blows up from all the energy getting dumped into it

How do oscillating neutrinos conserve momentum and energy? Do they slow down when they are in the "muon" phase vs. the "electron" phase?

I'm sure that this has been something explored by people much smarter than I am, but hearing that right handed neutrinos are hugely massive, but completely undetectable I can't help but draw comparisons to dark matter.

7:40 I have been starting to wonder, is it possible that this collective neutrino mass could be part of the solution to the 'dark matter' problem?

Left handed neutrinos come from fusion reactions in the sun. The right handed ones are called anti-neutrinos, and come from fission reactors and are also emitted in radioactive decay.

There's always one guy who asks on any physics video and I guess today it's my turn: Does this maybe explain dark matter? He doesn't say where these predicted extremely heavy neutrinos are exactly. But if they exist then that's so much more mass in the universe than we're currently aware of, right?

Wow!

I once read about portly neutrino as described by physicist José Wudka. Is this the same thing?
