What exactly are neutrinos doing(their purpose)?
Hmmm. You need to flesh out your questions a bit more - so that peoplestochastic said:What exactly are neutrinos doing(their purpose)?
stochastic said:So you guys are telling me know one knows what its purpose is? If it has no purpose that's fine with me. But it is one or the other. From what I've read about every other particle they either produce something or change something. Is this the particle that has no function? it just flys around because that's what makes it happy?
malawi_glenn said:1. Particles do not have feelings..
2. You can not talk about purposes in physics.. it is just our subective opinions..
That's partly because we're still not clear what you're really asking,stochastic said:[...] No one has answered my question.
To be precise, I wrote that the neutrino was indeed postulated as a newUnless strangerep meant "the neutrino was postulated as a new
particle that somehow carried away the excess energy" has now been
proven to be true. which he didnt make clear.
The neutrino can potentially interact with any other fundamental fermion,So a neutron decides one day it wants to become a proton and to
maintain proper spin a quark farts out a boson which blossoms into an
electron and an anti-neutrino? I'm sure this is wrong and I am trying to
oversimplify something I can't even see. But yet I just want to know :p
Then beyond that what happens to the neutrino? Is it absorbed by
something or is it free to live out its life roaming the galaxy?
stochastic said:Sorry I have no education in this at all, except what I have read on wikipedia. Thats why I am having you guys fill in the blanks.
strangerep: The part that wasnt clear was the last part of that sentence, the part you left out in your last response. "..that somehow carried away excess energy" you say they have since detected it with new technology but was their assumption on its function correct?
TheDestroyer: I did read your post and I was asking if I understood in this part of my last response "to maintain proper spin a quark farts out a boson which blossoms into an electron and an anti-neutrino" I was using silly words because even though this is all very interesting it seems humorous as well(I'm strange).
A neutrino is a subatomic particle that has a very small mass and no electric charge. It is one of the fundamental particles that make up the universe, along with protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Neutrinos only interact with matter through the weak nuclear force, making them one of the least interactive particles in the universe. They can pass through most matter without being affected.
Neutrinos play a crucial role in many astrophysical processes, such as nuclear reactions in stars and supernovae explosions. They also provide important insights into the early stages of the universe and the formation of galaxies.
Neutrinos are detected using large, underground detectors that are designed to capture the rare interactions between neutrinos and matter. These detectors often use large tanks of liquid or arrays of sensors to detect the tiny signals produced by neutrino interactions.
While neutrinos do not have many practical applications currently, scientists are studying ways to harness and use neutrinos for communication and energy production. However, these applications are still in the early stages of development.
