Neutrinos and the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics - Sixty Symbols

The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald for showing that Neutrinos have mass.

This video features Ed Copeland, Michael Merrifield and Meghan Gray.

This project features scientists from The University of Nottingham

Sixty Symbols videos by Brady Haran

[ChrisBaziw]

Hello from Sudbury! I've been watching these videos for a long time now and have friends doing their PhDs in the SNOLab, it's exciting to see their work recognized on such a large scale! Even making it to one of my favourite YouTube channels!

3:19 Dr. Grays notebeook makes this video -- gives it a sense of 'I was there.'

[liammahon]

Fantastic video. Meghan your notes are so perfect! I wish my notes could be so neat.

[PhysicsOnline]

Brilliant explanations, I learnt a lot from that and the detail behind why the prize was awarded. Keep these videos coming.

Congratulations to Sixty Symbols for another clear and concise explanation of a very important and, for the layman, esoteric topic! all the best from this Arizona Cowboy

[CJonestheSteam]

Great video by Nottingham as ever, I always find it interesting to see the varied viewpoints of the staff due to their specialisms

[mighty]

I absolutely love videos containing Professor Copeland :)

[EugeneKhutoryansky]

Great video, and very interesting information about neutrinos. One comment I would like to make about the discussion of the Nobel Prize, giving awards can sometimes act as a disincentive to collaboration.

[TranquilKr]

I know, Brady, you have a lot of projects other than 'Sixty Symbols', but don't you think a month's gap between two consecutive videos is too much?
Love all your videos. Thank you!

[TheBraskyHouse]

Congratulations to them. Really ground breaking work!

“Then I realised they don’t make phone calls really close to the announcements, charged up my phone but still nothing” that’s hilarious 😂 😂

[BeCurieUs]

It is fascinating to me how much astrophysicist's get to know and be involved with particle physics. The really big and the really small, but still family.

You got to love japanese: Super-Kamiokande is about 1 million times more awesome name than Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. "Suu-peeerrr... ka...mio...KANDEEE!!!!" and you expect fireballs to fly out..

[LynneSkysong]

I actually know a little about this. But only because AcapellaScience did a cover of Muse's Madness called "Massless" explaining it. I highly recommend at least reading the lyrics if you want a nice overview. I love the song, though I'm also a huge Muse fan, so I'm bias.

Waiting for this since it was announced this morning!! Love Brady/the Profs /and Minutephysics.

Excited for chem tomorrow? My bet is on CRISPR

Ultimate Drinking Game : Take a sip/Do a shot, every time they say the word Neutrino

Neutrinos are composite particles composed of a set of stable "dark matter" composite particles and have 3 stable configurations. Photons are the same but have only 1 stable configuration. Every visible object is composed of a visible part (composed of photon based systems of matter) and an invisible part composed of systems of matter smaller in size than photons - dark matter)

[NiallMcKeown]

Love love love Sixty Symbols. Keep it up!

[jordanweir]

awesome discovery, awesome channel :D what could be better hehe

[shkotayd]

Crazy :O We have lived to see physics start to transcend a fundamental base of the field :O

This is amazing!!
