-neutrinos:
means 'little neutral object', here meaning subatomic.particles
that are in a neutral.state
and are about as close as something can be to nothing, yet they permeate
the multiverse,
to
an astonishing degree being energetic particles.
Neutrinos are formed by cosmic
rays and nuclear reaction of the Sun. There are muon
neutrinos and tao neutrinos have now been confirmed.
Neutrinos are force carriers.
Neutrinos are energy lost during radioactive
decay, such as occurs when stars and the Sun expend energy. Neutrinos
travel in straight lines. A neutrino is smaller than an atom
and has no electrical charge.
Neutrinos are a class of
elementary
particles which are electrically
neutral.(uncharged
particles, that is, doesn't have a positive or negative charge and won't
carry one, like wood won't carry a charge either).particles
coming from the Sun and stars and are
also created by
supernovae.
They are a group of stable
elementary particles with zero electric charge and near zero rest
mass,
which travel at the
speed of light and occupy the cosmos
in the amount of 1,800 per cubic inch.
They fly fast and unnoticed
through our bodies and all matter. 10 trillion
of them bombard Earth passing through any surface the size of your
hand every second. They can pass through 40 million miles of solid steel.
It would take a stack of lead hundreds of light years thick to stop one
in its tracks. Do
they play a part in gravity? No, but how
then is gravity?
Scientists have been able
to detect them when their
attention is on them, by using 100,000 gallon tanks containing perchloroethylene.(dry
cleaning fluid).and
by using tanks filled with 50,000 tons of purified water. Here, when a
neutrino bumps into a nucleus
of chlorine,
the chlorine turns into radioactive argon.
This is a most interesting
particle.
Search the Interweb.(aka
Internet).for
the 'two slit experiment' and you'll see how tiny particles are altered
by one's observation of them or not. When not seen by an eye of some kind,
like a camera or your own eyes, the particles are not there, only a wave,
yet to become a particle when observed. A correlation
here is between what you imagine and its coming into
physical manifestation.
Neutrinos were discovered
when measurements of the mass
of the final nucleus
plus the energy
emitted
from the initial
nucleus did not match according to
Einstein's
E=mc2.(c2
is speed of light
in a vacuum;
{2 is for
squared,
a number multiplied by itself}). The
figures weren't equal. This meant that energy was missing. The resulting
energy loss was quantified,
satisfying
the principle
of energy conservation of beta
decay. Neutrinos were discovered. There existence was proved at the
Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, by Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines
in experiments detecting a chain of events involving subatomic
particles that could only be accounted for by the events.
Neutrinos, which are leptons,
come in three flavors.
Neutrinos respond exclusively
to the so-called weak force.(beta
decay). The neutrino carries exactly
the amount of energy needed to balance the energy accounting for the
reaction, the disintegration caused by the event.
-neutron:.one
of the fundamental
particles.(like
the proton
and photon
it is a nucleon).of
an atom. A
neutron is a subatomic.particle
with no charge, having a mass
of 939.6
MeV/c2.(approximately
the same mass as protons).and
a spin of
½.
A neutron is made up of 1
up and 2 down quarks.(udd
= up, down, down). Compare 'proton'.
Protons and neutrons interact
with
gluon exchange.
Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus.(center).of
the atom and surrounded by electrons.
A neutron feels the strong force,
which binds it with the protons and other neutrons in a proton, an electron
and an electron anti
neutrino, the positron.
-nuclear:
Of, like, or forming a nucleus.
-nucleus.(nuclei
plural):
a thing or part forming the centre around which other parts or things are
grouped or collected. The
atomic
nucleus is about 1/100,000 the size of the atom
itself; an atom is 1/10,000 times the size of a bacteria.
The
so-called.Strong
Force keeps the nucleus from flying apart. A
very strange even much so-called 'stronger force' binds the quarks.(components
of the atom).together.
-ohm:
the unit of electrical resistance, equal to the resistance of a circuit,
in which an electromotive force of one volt maintains a current
of one ampere.
