So did we have an unreported accident? | |

Neutrinos are nearly massless, which enables them to travel so fast, much like Electrons. Except neutrinos do not carry an electric charge;meaning they are not affected by electromagnetism. Neutrinos only interact with the weak-nuclear force and gravity. The weak-nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay and atomic fusion. If solar flares blasting neutrinos at earth are causing changes in the decay rates of radioactive isotopes, scientists may soon have data to prove it. Until now it was thought neutrinos rarely, if at all, interacted with normal matter - a fact which has made them notoriously difficult to detect. Finding data on the ebb, flow and volume of neutrinos to compare with the variance in atomic decay has been difficult." [link to questional.com] |
