Neutrinos

“Neutrinos”

Neutrinos are many particles, which make up this vast universe that we live in. In addition, they are also one of the most mysterious because of how little we know about them. Neutrinos could be compared to the make up of an electron, with one crucial difference: neutrinos are neutral particles, meaning they do not carry any electrical charge. Because of this difference, they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces, which act on electrons.
However, they do have a weakness; a “weak” sub-atomic force of much shorter range than electromagnetism. This enables them to pass through great distances in matter without being affected by it. Although misunderstood my most of mankind, it has been discovered that neutrinos have mass, and that they also interact gravitationally with other massive particles, but gravity is by far the weakest of the forces (Casper).
The mass of electron neutrinos is measured in tritium beta decay experiments. The...
