    Idk if I'm just paying more attention to this stuff as I get older, but it seems like groundbreaking science is occurring at an ever increasing rate. The Higgs Boson, neutrino detectors, gravitational waves, JWST, first images of black holes, etc.
    It gives me so much hope to know there are still so many blindingly intelligent people on this planet that just want to add to our collective human knowledge.

      I would expect that discoveries and breakthroughs should be occurring at increasing rates, we had that in the 19th and 20th centuries as it is, it should continue into the 21st century and further into the future.
      Did you know that what humanity collectively learned over the thousands of years up to the end of the 20th century, half of all that data is just in the 20th century alone? The most chaotic century in human history, on its own, supposedly doubled what humankind had overall gained.

    Very nicely done and well researched. I am thrilled to see comments reflecting the joy of people watching your content!
    As a physicist, I would just point out two errors, one significant, the other a point of detail: 1) neutrino interaction cross sections are strongly energy dependent. While neutrinos from reactors, the Sun and other "mundane sources" have earth penetrating capture lengths, extremely high energy ones (of cosmic interest) will actually have capture lengths of less than a mile of matter. This matters for detector design.
    2) the Czerenkov radiation process can be successfully described in classical EM theory (QM not necc in practice), which I state specifically because your discussion of the atomic interactions involved in bulk matter is a nice semi-classical description of the process in this regard.

    The most fascinating use of neutrino detection for me was the collaboration between physicists and archeologists in Egypt about 10 years ago, to determine what, if anything was inside a newly discovered cavity in the Great Pyramid. Egyptologists felt certain that there were cavities still to be discovered within the pyramid, but the government prohibited them from excavating and damaging the temple; the solution to prove or disprove their theory was through neutrino detection and their patterns beneath the floor in question.
    If I’m not mistaken, the test proved that there was nothing inside the cavity and that it was just hollow space, thus preventing any unnecessary alteration or destruction to the structure.
    Essentially, the scientists were using neutrinos as a large X-ray machine to determine if the cavity was empty space or filled with unfound treasures.

    The fact that a particle can create a sort of light shock wave is just insane to me! I would like to see some more in depth videos on subatomic particles and why the neutrinos behave this way, like under what circumstance do they interact with normal matter? They don't for the vast majority of time, so what causes them to sometimes?
    It's all very interesting, and I love to see videos that show the tools we use to see this beautiful universe.

    • @tonywells6990
      @tonywells6990 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Neutrino's interact via the weak force. If a neutrino passes close to a nucleon it can interact via a heavy W or Z boson, by either being absorbed by the nucleus, turning into a charged lepton, or changing momentum or scattering (colliding with) the nucleus. Electrons can also interact by scattering or causing the neutrino to change into a charged lepton, eg. an electron, muon or tau particle.
      These processes have a very low probability due to the masses of the W and Z boson force particles (the weak force is similar to the electromagnetic force but the force carriers have a large mass unlike the photon which has zero mass) and the tiny cross section of the neutrino (collision area) which is why they hardly ever interact with matter.

      @JoeDeglman 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The current evidence from the Sun is that there is no evidence of energy transport from below the photosphere.
      The energy of the Sun appears to come directly out of the photosphere, like the Hannes Alfven model, minus the antimatter idea.
      Given the neutrino issue of the Sun and that neutrinos are known to only come from sources where the nucleons are undergoing fission, the Sun most likely gets it energy from fission of the proton in the photosphere, not from fusion.
      It doesn't take a billion years for light to migrate out of the core, the light and neutrinos are created simultaneously out of the photosphere.

    Good thing they were able to discover the neutrino's in the ice, because the Fermilab in Illinois and Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota hadn't discovered anything, according to the lead researcher working in the facility. The place in Sound Dakota was over $3 billion in 2006 to make and they aren't done expanding.

      Yes they did. Left neutrinos and right anti-neutrinos both have weak nuclear charge (i.e. isospin) - the same, in fact, as left electrons and right positrons. Right electrons and left positrons have no weak nuclear or color charge and right neutrinos and left anti-neutrinos *if they exist* have no electrical, weak nuclear or color charge. However, they *still* have Higgs charge, if they exist, as do *all* fundamental particles, except gluons and photons.

      The idea came 1930 - something like the neutrino could make some theories work out. The idea was embraced, and neutrinos were expected to exist. In particular, they should exist in nuclear reactors, so that's where they looked (1956) and found some 😊.

    • @fan_juggler
      @fan_juggler 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      For example, we know how much neutrino is produced in nuclear fusion in the Sun, and we know how much energy Sun produces, so we can estimate how many neutrinos come out from the sun. This estimation agrees with the established interaction cross-section of neutrino and rate or neutrino detection in the detectors. So it's probably true :)

    What on earth. The sheer thought of tracing back that powerful burst to a specific black hole is so outlandish to me. Time and position accuracy have to be ultra precise to be able to do that.
    How do you even manage that. How do you account for all the variables sneak into the measurement, and potential accuracy loss in computation etc. This is super impressive.

      Photons have even less mass than neutrinos and they're lensed. The black hole's jets point directly away from it though, so it's own gravity wouldn't distort the beam much (other than redshifting). Other gravity sources would lens neutrinos like normal though.
