Neutrinos are not new. This is decades old news.
Neutrinos are wimps, or weakly interacting massive partials.
Basically they are heavy like a proton or neutron, but they pass through normal matter because they do not interact with electrons. Only in the very very rare cases that a neutrino strikes the nucleus of another atom will it produce a measurable effect.
BTW trillions of these things are passing through your body every second.
Neutrinos are not heavy. They are very very light.
Basically they are heavy like a proton or neutron
Wrong.
Neutrinos are not new. This is decades old news.
The novelty is that the neutrinos were produced in a particle accelerator rathen than by natural processes.
Can neutrinos collide with neutrinos?
Heavy as in massive particle, as opposed to mass-less particles like photons. People know about protons and neutrons, so I felt they would do as examples of heavy (massive particles).
