Re: What are Neutrinos from a philosophical perspective?

Post by psyreporter »

Neutrino's can change their mass up to 3000x in size, by themselves, which is called flavor switching or morphing. It is why the particle is called a 'ghost particle' (spooky particle).

One could wonder, if the Neutrino can 'change it's mass' on its own, whether the particle itself would be bound to that mass relatively.
When a neutrino changes "flavor" or "color" it is in a transition state and therefore can be any mass. At the midpoint it is 0 mass and travels at speed c. When it becomes one or the other it has mass. In between it can have any mass, meaning even 0 mass. It's the same as Schrodingers cat. It works and is non-contradictory.

They are all right-handed and are suspected as somehow being responsible for the asymmetry in the universe, there having been one matter item left over from every 10 billion matter anti-matter annihilations early on, which 10 billion to one ratio is also the ratio of photons to protons now. Matter anti-matter annihilations produce photons.

At light speed there is no time. The moment a photon is emitted from a star at billions of light years distance it will 'instantly' hit Earth from the perspective of the photon.

Does light experience time?
But for light itself, which is already moving at light speed… You guessed it, the photons reach zero distance and zero time.

When a Neutrino would be able to travel at light speed by being unbound by mass on a fundamental level it would need to deviate from a state of timelessness. If it would do so by itself, it may mean something (provide a clue) philosophically.

Thank you, neutrinos, for our universe of matter!

From a philosophical perspective, the neutrino is just a popularized concept, like a elementary particles are. The are almost massless particles consisting out of three truly basic particles. They are still traveling at almost the speed of light since they were pushed out of the virtuallity, in which they were present, from the initial naked singularity by a strong negative curvature, giving rise to a repulsive gravity. Electrons and quarks are moving at low velocities, as they have reacted among each other.
Both quarks and leptons are made out of two basic fields of matter.

The left-handeness of neutrinos can be explained in a more comprehensive picture. It can be that all elementary particles were drawn (pushed is a better word) from the virtual fields present at the initial singularity. Two universe were pushed into existence ar both sides. Both sides contained the same massless basic fields, rishon fields, out of which quarks and leptons (and their anti counterparts) are made. As both sides are mirrored one side will be left-handed, and the other left-handed. At the same time the problem of the matter/antimatter asymmetry will be solved. There are just equal amounts of the both in both universes, but arranged as appearing that only matter is present.

Yes, could be, as the old joke extended that first asks, "Take two apples from three apples and what do you have?"

When they too quickly answer, "One" they get prompted that they may have two since they took two.

"May?", they wonder.

"Well, but there are also three anti-apples caused by there being the regular three apples."

Then they get mixed up all the more.

Neutrinos are the necesserary neutral bybroduct of a preon scheme to create electrons and quarks. The latter are needed to form neutrons and protons, which again are necessary for life to come into existence.
