Neutrinos have a mass - confirmed

[GL]

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010618/sc/solar_mystery_1.html. Back in HS I was lectured by a physicist involved with this Sudbury project - boring as hell at the time as I was ignorant, but I'm glad it was worthwhile.

thank you.

whoa cool! Its finally been confirmed.

LOL, it's a tough crowd on the forums today

but not enough mass to cause the univers to slow down and collapse

the universe isnt just expanding its accelerating by antigravity caused by dark matter, or at least thats what the "experts" say

vacumm energy = cool

 

[IcemanJer]

er... okay.

I wonder how many physics students failed tests because they stated the neutrino has a mass? In any event, we now can account for up to 18% of the dark matter mass in the universe.

some of this hurts my head so bad when i try to think about it. like photons, how can something have zero mass?

wow they have a mass... any practical applications to today's world? Hmm... Neutrino blasters?
