      Oh, that was the least terrible thing Pauli ever did, walking into a physics lab during an experiment was always the worst, due to the quite well observed Pauli Effect.
      Once, as a joke about the effect being pulled as a prank on him involved a chandelier that was rigged to drop when he entered a room. Upon entering the room, the chandelier was supposed to be dropped by a rope, but instead inexplicably hung up. And of course, when he entered the lab once during a cyclotron run, the damned thing caught fire...
      Otto Stern, 82 time Nobel Prize nominee before he finally did win a Nobel Prize, actually banned his friend from his lab.

    Great video (as usual) Anton! Just FYI, the tracks produced in IceCube are not coming from the neutrinos themselves, but the charged lepton produced when the neutrino interacts with an atom in the ice. So like, a muon neutrino will interact with an atom and produce a muon that then continues in the same direction (conservation of momentum), and as its travelling at near the speed of light (in a vacuum) which is faster than the speed of light in the medium, it produces Cherenkov radiation that the photodetectors pick up to reconstruct the path of the particle.

      It's mistakes like this he really needs to call himself out on. Like I just watched this once and it was very obvious to me that what he was saying couldn't be true. If trillions of neutrinos of every kind pass through my body every second without hitting me then different types of neutrinos will leave NO discernable path through the ice.

    • @castonyoung7514
      @castonyoung7514 13 дней назад

      I would have loved to hear how the Ice Cube detectors are actually able to pick up such low-energy events as neutrino collisions though. How does a neutrino interacting via the weak force even create more than a couple photons to reach the detectors? Even if it creates a muon first (which is much heavier than an electron), it is still one muon and the detectors are METERS apart.

    • @atticmuse3749
      @atticmuse3749 13 дней назад +4

      @@castonyoung7514 the secret is that they're NOT low energy events, their lower end of sensitivity is for neutrinos in the tens or hundreds of GeV, but they're typically looking at like TeV and higher, so the charged lepton will have plenty of energy to generate a lot of photons.

    Might be a matter of geometry and additional dimensions.
    Imagine a cone crossing a 2D universe.
    Intelligent beings would only see slices of cones.
    Those would be circles (rarely), ellipses (quite often), triangles (rarely), parabolas (often) and hyperbolas (rarely) without being able to realize those are the same object from different angles. So they might suspect those are related without being able to figuring out the reason.
    Could particles in our Universe oscilate for the same reason? Could we only be able to see them when they cross our 3 known dimensions while tumbling in a 4th and a 5th of space?
    So maybe we are limited in our hability to understand particle physics and cosmology because we are only able to witness and understand a fraction of what exists.

    • @DerIchBinDa
      @DerIchBinDa 13 дней назад +1

      This is something I am also wondering about for years. If we inhabit a universe with more then the 3+time dimensions but, as you beautifully described in your thought experiment, with our current technology we can only experience what happens in 3 of them, we will have a very hard time to see the common dominators that appear to be different from our view point but are just the result of a rather simple transformation in higher dimensions of the same basic thing.
      I suspect that some oddities that we see could be artefacts of such higher dimensional transformations. And as we cannot imagine a higher dimensional space with our brain, it becomes very hard to see the common pattern that may emerge out of it.

      you missed lines and points... Your analogy doesn't make sense because we DO have a theory of conic sections, and you can come to such a theory without ever seeing a cone, nevermind a theoretical infinite double napped cone. In the same way, we can create theories about models with more dimensions than we can physically observe. Indeed, that's what all of modern physics is based on. Even classical electromagnetism is predicated on apparently mysterious forces interacting with one another. To say that neutrinos are 'tumbling in a 4th and a 5th (dimension) of space" is just a restatement of the fact that neutrinos seem to oscillate, but with the additional assertion that their oscillation is somehow bound to spatial dimensions. There's no reason to believe that, and it doesn't provide any insight.

    Look up high stellar mass nucleosynthesis. The heaviest of elements are "fused" by neutrinos in the inner shell around the core.
    As the neutron star forms and collapses, it produces an exceptionally high neutrino flux that impacts the very dense inner shell and fuses the heavy elements by neutrino capture.

    I've had this crazy idea for a while now ... Ever since I was a small child (so, for over 50 years now), about every six months on average, I'll suddenly have a really odd feeling. I'll hear an extremely high-pitched tone and feel as though the world just got "out of sync" with my brain for just a fraction of a second, and then everything will go back to normal. It's very distinctive ... not painful or unpleasant, and I don't lose consciousness. It's not a brain tumour, I'm fairly certain. Anyway, a few years ago, I read a fascinating story about a guy searching for the source of a glitch in a video game, and he determined that the likeliest explanation was that a random passing cosmic ray changing a single bit in the game from a zero to a one. So I thought, what if some particle, out of countless quadrillions passing through my body, struck a molecule in my head *just right*, causing that weird sensation? Surely I'm wrong ... but am I?

    99% of a supernova's energy is released as an enormous flux of high energy neutrinos. The rebounding core does not have enough kinetic energy to finish unbinding a massive star.

      This is what the 'institutional physicists/astronomers' are siding towards right now...but I'm still of opinion it doesn't remotely add up.
      From the big ? around neutrino, why they exist the way they do, 'what else' is out there and that small/un-reactive (w/ other particles), the big ? about gravity (macro+quantum), big ? about time (spoiler: definitely not part of a 'space-time' simply), and the blaring issues around photons...
      Even in nuclear/high-energy physics, the notion of MOST kinetic energy AND thermal energy (from novae) being imparted into the smallest particles in the universe (that barely react w/ anything, ever. [apparently])...and all this happening in the span of mins to couple days (depending on novae type). Yeah, that makes barely any sense, even in those extreme settings.

      My big bet: photon speed + neutrino oscillations/un-reactiveness/high numbers/flavors = we're missing not just 'handful' of neutrino flavors, other particles (tachyon/graviton/axion)...but we're probably missing a whole 'table' of particles (the size of periodic table), maybe many more than that, because our electron (electricity), boson/fermion based physics experiments simply aren't fine-tuned, or able (at all) to detect them.

    A small but important correction Anton, neutrinos are not constantly changing their mass! If you "fix" your view on neutrinos to observe them, you can "measure" their flavour. But when they oscilate, as you mentioned, they exist in so-called mass eigenstates, and these have constant mass. Each eigenstate is a mix of (three known) flavours. So you measure the eigenstate with constant mass but different flavours at different time/space. Talking about individual masses of individual flavours is a bit misleading... Great video, keep the amazing work up and thank you :)

      Neutrinos are detected by them causing cherenkov radiation in the detector, which is like a series of sonic boom shockwaves, except with light instead of sound, and the detectors can tell which direction it's moving to, so also which direction the neutrino came from.

      To expand on this: tree "mass eugenstates" are three possible states of neutrino which can freely propagate.
      Three "flavor eugenstates" are how neutrino interact with changed leptons: If neutrino turns into electron, it was in "electron neutrino eugenstate".
      It happens so that those do not map 1:1: "electron neutrino eugenstate" does not correspond to any one of mass eugenstates, it is a linear sum of them: a*m1 + b*m2 + c*m3 (where a,b,c are constants, mN mass euganstates, a+b+c = 1)

Passing by other masses gives off electromagnetic fields. A Lorentz effect. Therefore, going by other particles still creates a differential . Doesn’t have to be a bombardment. Just because they are so small doesn’t mean they don’t eventually collide with something. That wasn’t my point. Passing by other particles crates an oscillation in both mass and energy. In other words, the direction wouldn’t have to change, only the build up or discharge of both mass and energy. Kind of like balancing on a tight rope.
