neutrino masses to unexpectedly small

[scruffy]

A neutrino mass mismatch could shake cosmology’s foundations

Cosmological data suggest unexpected masses for neutrinos, including the possibility of zero or negative mass.

DESI says the sum of neutrino masses is less than .07 electron volts with 95% confidence

The universe is infinitely large and infinitely my small.
But, Mankind will go extinct before we know it all.

Well, you see Scruff, here's the thing. While I'm convinced of the existence of Dark Matter, I don't believe in dark energy at all. While dark matter can be indirectly observed, imaged and measured through its effects, dark energy is just a theoretical construct on a blackboard created to explain an observation in the universe which otherwise bucks all other theories, ie, the apparent expansion of the universe.

Think of dark energy as the glue God uses to hold everything together.

But I thought dark energy was the little springy things God used to push everything apart?!

Physics Has Become a Leisure-Class Toy

If we had practical-value scientists instead of these impotent escapist nerds, by now the neutrino would be used as a combination of GPS and Geiger Counter to map all the resources of the Earth all the way to the core.

If neutrinos had no mass, it would have significant implications for our understanding of particle physics and cosmology. Without mass, neutrinos would travel at the speed of light and could potentially interact differently with other particles, affecting processes like radioactive decay and supernova explosions. This could lead to a reevaluation of our fundamental theories and models.

On the other hand, if neutrinos had negative mass, it would be a groundbreaking discovery with profound consequences.

Negative mass implies repulsion rather than attraction to other matter, leading to bizarre effects like accelerating in the opposite direction of a force applied to it. This could revolutionize our understanding of gravity and possibly open up new avenues for PROPULSION SYSTEMS and ENERGY GENERATION.

Both scenarios would require significant adjustments to the Standard Model of particle physics and would undoubtedly spark intense scientific interest and further research to fully comprehend the implications of such fundamental changes.

And the war hawks & the greedy would certainly be thrilled! lol.

Imma gonna stick with those oldtrinoes.

Without mass traveling at 1C, they would be energy then and not a subatomic particle.

Negative mass implies repulsion rather than attraction to other matter

Negative mass is an impossible state for matter since all atomic matter is based on ATTRACTION. Without the attractive power of the bosonic force carriers, atomic matter could never form in the first place.

You misspelled "keep it together."

Don't all elementary particles exhibit simultaneously the properties of waves and of particles?

Only when sampled either in time or position. So obviously, they contain elements of both so must really be something else, as no ordinary wave nor particle in a newtonian sense exhibits properties of the other. So man is forever limited in his perception by his own observational bias.

Still could be a Majorana mass.

Definitely doesn't agree with PMNS.

The Future Is Underneath Us

How does it deflect off a particle in the rare case where it hits something? Would it indicate what kind of molecule it ran into? Do different molecules have different kinds of surrounding force that would affect the deflection of the neutrinos and signal what is down there? In a lab, bombard molecules with neutrinos and see if the deflections are different.

These decadent geeks get a sick thrill out of contemplating negativity, anti-somethings, and chaos. You're spoiling their neurotic entertainment and interrupting their mental masturbation.

It costs half a billion dollars to build an accelerator, and about 50 million every time you spin it up.

Science Is Being Derailed into a Brainwreck

Protons don't go deep enough through the Earth's surface. I'm sure they could create a neutrino beam if they focused on practical value instead of this childish and escapist mind-candy of theoretical theater. If the Scientific Method isn't given a last step of "How can we use this discovery?", its funding should be withheld.

As long ago as the classical era, science became merely a playground for the idle rich. This is still another example of the cancer of hereditary power and influence.
