petrushkagoogol Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Neutrinos are fermions and do not have mass, If they did they would produce substantial changes in space-time as they occur universally. (Recent theories reflect a change in the Standard model and state that they indeed have mass.) I think that they can only be experienced as differentiated wave-functions rather than actual particles. Imagine if a trillion trillion neutrinos existed as masses and their effect as per chaos theory ? Imagine the change in the Higgs field as applied to the Universe as a whole.

Cascabel Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think neutrinos do have mass, but not much. They are one of the candidates for dark matter, in fact. petrushkagoogol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, they have no rest mass in the Standard Model. However the discovery of neutrino oscillation (the subject of last years's Nobel Prize in physics) indicates they do have rest mass after all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_oscillation I had not realised this until I looked it up just now :). petrushkagoogol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
