Neutrino Oscillation and their gravitational implications
As I understand neutrinos, there are three different flavors, all with different masses. Although the masses of these neutrinos have not been directly measured, their mass differences have been. ...

Are neutrinos affected by gravity?
Layman here, but EE and BS physics. I know that light is affected by gravity. But are neutrinos? During the collapse of a star into a neutron star, as the electrons join protons to form neutrons ...

Could we prove that neutrinos have mass by measuring their gravitational signature?
It is now said that neutrinos have mass. If an object has mass then it also emits a gravitational field. I appreciate the neutrinos mass is predicted to be small, but as there are so many produced ...

Why do neutrino oscillations imply nonzero neutrino masses?
Neutrinos can pass from one family to another (that is, change in taste) in a process known as neutrino oscillation. The oscillation between the different families occurs randomly, and the likelihood ...
