video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Elementary particles are the smallest known building blocks in the universeand the neutrino is one of the smallest of the small. These tiny neutrinos can tell us about the furthest reaches and most extreme environments of the universe. but only if we can catch them. Slvia Bravo Gallart details how the IceCube telescope in Antarctica is working to do just that. Lesson by Slvia Bravo Gallart

I'm no expert, but i'm currently getting my masters in health physics which means i study radiation, and when you start studying things like neutrinos, antineutrinos, positrons, etc. it does kind of seem like they are making stuff up to try and explain the graphs and observations (or lack thereof)
for example, protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge. so if protons are in the nucleus, and positive repels positive. then how can protons remain in the nucleus without repelling each other? Thus instead of throwing away the idea, they simply event the strong nuclear force which like Velcro keeps the nucleus in tact.

can u pls explain what its relation is with a matter
I understand that it does not interact with atom but then it is produced from radioactive decay of an atom
also, it is stated in this video and much other research that the neutrino along with the electron exists in all normal matter
and then we say that it goes undetected
but does it have a role in an atom
so if u can pls

You can't really say you'll never see a neutrino. Strictly speaking it is possible, however phenomenally unlikely, that a neutrino could interact with a photo-receptor cell in your eye. It would likely cause something like a flash that astronauts report in space (from high energy particles. So technically if that happens, you could say you've seen a neutrino.

So if neutrinos rarely interact with anything, what unique/useful information could be gathered from them? How would we find the location of astronomical phenomena by detecting neutrinos?

The year is 2020, the world is in a global pandemic and the Tau Neutrino could've just given evidence of a parallel universe where time goes backwards. Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrr!

Why do they hit only ten times (approx) a year? Does it mean that something out there is in an inclination with the earth producing energy uniformly?
