... A team of physicists recently set out to observe solar neutrinos, but got the surprise of their lives when they found (through a complicated and subtle chain of reasoning) that the tiny ethereal neutrino does indeed appear to have a very small, but ...
... Neutrinos, as it happens, are very difficult to stop in their flight, and most of the neutrinos made in the core collapse of a star fly right out into space. ...
... again on page 69, he says this is what solves the long-standing "neutrino problem ... Let's look at that neutrino problem. ... in the Sun predict that a subatomic particle called a neutrino should be created ...
... Also, as I understand it, it has recently been proven that neutrinos have some mass. Am I correct? ... The recent discovery that neutrinos have mass caused a flurry of excitement that perhaps they are the missing mass, but it ...
... The ghostly neutrino-- so low in mass that scientists argued for decades (and still do argue) over whether it had mass at all-- is at the heart of the main mechanism that causes stars to explode as supernovae. ...
... Observers are the ones that actually go out and observe , whether it's with an optical telescope, a radio telescope or even a neutrino detector. ...
... In a process still not well understood, a huge number of ghostly neutrinos are produced, which deposit energy into the outer envelope of the star. ...
... My first thought about having the core of the Earth be a nuclear reactor was, "where are the neutrinos?" ... That's silly again; we know just how many neutrinos come from the Sun, and a source the size of the Earth just a few thousand ...
