What Is A Neutrino? The Ghost Particle

We are all very familiar with the particles that constitute an atom, such as the proton, the neutron and the electron. But in reality, there are dozens of other particles, each of them with a different behaviour, and each of them interacting differently with the others.
One of the most fascinating particles is the neutrino. Neutrino is without any doubt the most elusive among the fundamental particles, since it barely interacts with matter and it requires gigantic detectors in order to be observed!
Do you want to know more about neutrinos? Watch this video and I will tell you more!

The discovery of the neutrino is a very interesting story. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered radioactivity: atoms that spontaneously decay, turning into atoms of another element and emitting other particles in the process.
One of these types of radioactive decays is known as beta-decay. In this process, the nucleus of an atom emits an electron, and the atom turns into one of another element: the reason for this change is that a neutron inside the nucleus turns into a proton.
When scientist observed this process for the first time, they realized that there was something unexplained. In every physical process, energy is always conserved: this is one of the most important laws of physics, and there are no exceptions to it.

I still struggle to understand how a Nutrino can “pass through” everything?
Is a Nutrino Matter or Electricity or ….. ?
Why are humans, plants and animals not impacted by this “thing” that passes through everything?

Was just at Fermi Labs in Batavia, Illinois (a western suburb of Chicago).
So fascinating as a layperson just trying to understand Science better.

Be Well.

[wkelly]

yes i loved this video and i want more videos of this subject!!

[SteveMcGreen]

Why exactly are you showing pictures that have NOTHING to do with the actual topic

[bzxfxdk]

Thank you for this incredible video! It really helps me for my oral exams!

Man back in the late 80s and early 90s, I saw Neutrinos all the time. Yep, they were on the tv show in the afternoons after school. TMNT had episodes when a tiny car with a couple of people in it and they were Neutrinos. Lol.
No I know they have a giant pool with a doom filled with lights. Everytime a neutrino would hit a light, it would lite up. I saw a video on this and they were in a small boat watching and waiting. It's pretty cool that they figured away to detect them. This is something that doesn't interact with anything. They fly through us all day and night with nothing to show for it.

Ok..now what do I do with this information?

[richardmercer]

The neutrino is just a baby neutron ... 👶 (kidding of course)

[jovenus]

How come this video doesn’t have subtitles when the subtitle function is turned on 😮

[hannahcirimele]

Subtitles stop 2 minutes in, would have finished the video if I could 🤷‍♀️

[miaross]

I love this video!
But, “nucular”?? Why?? Just why?? 😭😭

[diitalzero]

The audio is awful now. What happened?

[Yongle]

seems that their name is more elusive than neutrinos themselves, since this video about neutrinos omitted to say that the neutrino ("little neutral one" in italian) was named by italian physicists edoardo amaldi and enrico fermi (the father of the atomic bomb)..

[Alasdair-Morrison]

What instantly put me off this video is the AI generated narrative (Note I said me, not you)

If the neutrino oscillation depends on the magnetic field strength, then a neutrino energy absorber could be created in the laboratory, which would be a better producer of green energy than thermonuclear reactors. Maybe it is the energy of oscillating neutrinos that heats the solar corona to millions of degrees in the magnetic field. If people manage to achieve a magnetic field of 1000 Tesla in the laboratory, I think it will be enough for neutrinos to oscillate every few meters from an electron neutrino to a tau neutrino and release energy, returning to the electron neutrino state again. Under the conditions of the Sun's magnetic field, neutrinos oscillate approximately every 300, 000 km.

[dominicestebanrice]

Neutrino "oscillation"....how convenient. And that 2010 "confirmation audacity of the grift is stupefying! Nice video though.

[inappropriatejohnson]

I thought the graviton is the most elusive it exists.

[SigmaJAD]

One Q. How do particles of a certain type i.e. mass oscillate to a different mass? Now that's witchcraft

[StrangeChickandPuppo]

"do you want to know more about this" well yeah I clicked on it, didnt I.. no need to tell me to watch it for more information =)

[justin_]

just three scientists with some test tubes gathered around a microscrope, observing a proton turning into a neutron.
