Reposted by Mountain GoatseKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 06/10/2026I attended a seminar by freshly minted Nobel Laureate Francis Halzen many years ago and something he said stuck with me, but it takes some explaining, so this will be a (short) thread. The talk was about neutrino telescopes, and he started by explaining how rarely neutrinos interact with anything. 638481
Reposted by Mountain GoatseKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 06/10/2026A fun fact about neutrinos is that they come in three “flavors” (types) and also in three masses and you would think that this means each flavor has its own mass and you would be absolutely wrong about that. 1863168
