Why Neutrinos Are Stranger Than Any Particle We've Ever Found

#Neutrinos #Physics #Cosmos This video follows the neutrino, the faint particle that pours through your body by the hundred trillion every second, from the broken energy books of beta decay to the giant detectors being built today. We trace where neutrinos come from, how we finally caught one after a quarter century of trying, why they change identity in flight and so must carry mass, and how that tiny mass cracked the Standard Model. Along the way we follow the missing solar neutrinos, the burst from a dying star, a telescope made of Antarctic ice, and the open questions that may explain why the universe is made of anything at all.
