    11:08 Why can't the Higgs Field explain Neutrino mass?
    12:35 Why we wouldn't exist without Neutrinos
    SUMMARY
    Are Neutrinos useless? Would we exist without neutrinos? What are neutrinos? And what purpose do they serve? Where do Neutrinos come from?
    They are the second most abundant particles after photons. They do not carry a charge, and they interact very weakly. This why they can go right through the earth without interacting with anything. So how did we know they existed?
    They were first theorized in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli. He was trying to solve a mystery in physics - why some of the energy in a radioactive Beta decay appeared to be missing. A beta decay occurs when an atom has too many neutrons or protons in its nucleus. When there are too many neutrons, the nucleus becomes more stable by transforming a neutron into a proton. This process emits an electron.
    Pauli proposed that perhaps a second invisible particle was being emitted along with the electron, which carried the different energies, allowing for overall energy to be conserved. Enrico Fermi later coined the term Neutrino for this particle.
    How were they experimentally detected if they don’t interact with anything? They are so abundant that if you build a detector large enough, and leave it on for long enough, a small percentage of these neutrinos will interact often enough that we can detect them. They were confirmed experimentally in 1956 by Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan, for which a Nobel Prize was later awarded. Their detector weighed 10 tons and was placed near a powerful fission reactor. The fission and fusion processes produce a lot of neutrinos.
    #neutrino
    #neutrinos
    The tremendous fusion reactions inside stars like our sun is the reason these particles are so abundant. How are neutrinos produced in the sun? When the sun fuses Hydrogen to Helium, the end result turns 4 protons into a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. This process produces two positrons and two neutrinos.
    Neutrinos were initially thought to be massless, but we now believe that they do have mass because the neutrinos from the sun went missing. We didn’t detect nearly as many neutrinos as we should have. This was called the “Solar Neutrino Problem.” It turned out that neutrinos, come in three different types, called “flavors.” The flavors are electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. Electron neutrinos were the ones we were looking for, but when we learned how to detect the other two flavors, muon and tau neutrinos, the missing neutrinos could be accounted for.
    This changing of flavors can only happen if these three particles have a non-zero mass. Why? The simple answer is that in order for flavor change to happen, some passing of time must occur for the particle. If no time passed for the particle, then no change could happen.
    On its way to earth, the neutrino is in a kind of superposition or a mixed state of various possible masses and flavors. This is called neutrino oscillation. The source of this neutrino mass and its oscillation is the mystery.
    The Higgs field cannot explain its mass because the Higgs flips the handedness or “chirality" of fermions if it interacts with them. This is how the Higgs confers mass. But this mechanism doesn’t work for the neutrino because it stays in its left-handed state forever. Right handed Neutrinos don’t exist.
    We wouldn’t exist without neutrinos the sun wouldn’t shine without Neutrinos. And no life would exist without the sun.
    Furthermore, neutrinos are also involved in Beta Minus decay. This decay allows free Neutrons to decay into protons. Without this process, the universe may have consisted of mostly neutrons, so much fewer atoms may have formed, precluding formation of life.

    Nice Video! A tiny mistake in one of the animations though: the annihilation of electrons and positrons produces TWO gamma photons (of 511keV each) in opposite directions. That's how we are able to create actual images in Positron Emission Tomography: we can paint a line between two photons detected at the same time and then overlay millions of those lines to form something similar to a "heat map".

    Thank you! It wasn't until I saw the visualization here of the electron constantly switching its handedness from left to right due to its interaction with the Higgs field that I finally understood how the Higgs field gives a particle mass. As you explained, the rate at which a particle switches from left to right creates a certain amount of energy and that energy is where the particle's mass comes from.

      They symbolize some types of interactions between the particles, that have no equivalent at our scale.
      It's not a matter of "not understanding what is happening, so let's just give it a fancy name". It's a matter of observing that some particles interact in some way, that can be modelized mathematically as a property of the particle following some precise rule. However, there is no object in the macroscopic world with such property, so we just put on it a name to differenciate the state that the particle can take -like we make up a name for any new thing we discover.
      We choose "color" for the strong force interaction because mathematically it's similar to how color additivity works, but that's all there is to it. And "flavor" because, well, they're just different types of the same things, so why not name it like that.
      The problem here is always the same : for an intuitive understanding of something, we need to borrow some similarity with something we already know of. We use analogies.
      However what happens at this scale is so strange, so different from what we are used to observe at the macroscopic scale, that sometimes no analogy can really help.
      But this doesn't mean we don't understand what's going on, in the sense that we are able to precisely describe, and predict, how these particles interact. And for a scientific theory, that's all that really matters.

      In what way do you have any coherent explanation for these properties ? The only difference is that they manifest at the macroscopic level, so you can somehow think you have a clear view of what they are.
      But when you try to examine what they really are at the quantum scale, it's no more or less alien than color or flavor.
      They all are interactions with some kind of fields. And what are fields ? Heck, what is space-time ? Nothing more than mathematical constructs we use to describe how reality works.

    That bit about how the Higgs gives mass is mind blowing, what a strange reality this is, and the fact that some species of eukaryote from earth can create large scale symbolic abstractions of the very fundamentals of the reality which gave rise to them is just a miracle!

    Wow, that cleared up half-a-dozen questions I've had for years. You are one excellent teacher! Quite an enjoyable / inspirational program. I attended UCI and remember asking Frederick Reines if the neutrino discovery was inferred or an isolated event (like what we see at CERN with the Higgs field). He wasn't too happy with my question!

    "A detector large enough, left on for long enough, interacts often enough". Eloquent.
    Uncertainty of mass and flavor? I had no idea.
    Higgs mass is chiral oscillation?😱🤯
    My kitchen wall is plastered with theories about what mass is. Why did I not know this?
    I love you Arvin.

    • @ArvinAsh
      @ArvinAsh  Рік тому

      Thanks. Keep in mind that the mass conferred by Higgs is mainly for elementary particles. Most of the mass of an atom is due to the binding energy from the Strong Force. In both cases though, mass is trapped energy.

    • @armandaneshjoo
      @armandaneshjoo Рік тому

      ​@@ArvinAsh Um... nope. (dies inside from shame😰😰)
      Binding energy = rotation mass.*
      Higgs mass = rotation oscillation mass. which means
      Mass is the amount of rotation.***
      Spin is the direction and mode (1/2, 3/2) of rotation.
      Mass and spin are just rotation friction, not trapped energy. **
      Trapped energy means particle. World is made of waves.
      Thing about waves, they move energy without moving space. ****
      It's like holes in n-p semiconductors. They are not protons, but behave like them
      * Think about it. this means a lot.
      for example: when the tree quarks in a nuclei rotate, their speed turns into 500 new massive quarks.
      another example: quantum gravity black holes cannot be empty.
      When dying massive stars start to form a black hole due to excessive mass, they shrink and their Shwartzchild radius grows.
      As they shrink their rotation speeds up, until their surface comes close to the speed of light.
      When the radius hits the surface, things cannot shrink further and rotate faster,. So instead, the rotational energy turns into huge amount of quarks to fill it. This explains what's inside a black hole. It's chalk full of quark,-gluon plasma, and there is no singularity at their center.
      ** This also means a lot. First, we don't need higher dimensions (Except one for like... gravity) to explain fields. Fields could be described various types of rotation.
      *** Mass depends on the amount of rotation and amplitude of oscillation in the gravity dimension. this explains a lot:
      1) It could explain all the particle masses once we start building a theory of quantum gravity.
      ****It confirms the nature of particles. As demonstrated by Young's double slit experiment, particles don't exist. everything is made of waves.
      2) It explains entanglement, entanglement means info is always in pairs. but why? because particles are the superposition of a pair of waves. two waves, gives us two data. matter is the music of space, not strings.
      So we now know how to build a quantum gravity theory. We need not a string theory, but a theory of space. Here's how to build it:
      3) Which two waves create a particle? could it be for instance, an electron field and a Higgs field? this could explain why particles are not relative (except in Hawking radiation). I've never been happier, except when I realized uncertainty is just quantum fluctuation.
      4) This in turn explains why the world is quantum; why electrons form orbitals around the nucleus. why they don't take any amount of energy. Why they have discrete orbitals. They are not particles. They are waves. They interfere with themselves, except in those orbitals. That's how electrons are created. They are created around the nuclei. out there, they are just waves.
      5) It explains what the Higgs field is. It is the surface of a black hole.
      6) It explains what other fields are. they are empty-spherical orbits around black holes.
      7) It explains what light is. It is the outermost orbital
      8) It explains what our universe is: the surface of a 4D black hole.
      9) It explains what the big-bang was: the birth of that black hole.
      10) It explains what cosmic inflation was: mass of a star, falling into that newly formed black hole at its center.
      11) It explains what dark energy is: stuff falling into the black hole.
      12) It explains what's in the forth dimension: the exact same stuff but way simpler.
      13) It explains what's on the surface of black holes: an entire 2D world.
      ⚠We can test this. here is how:
      * The recent crisis in cosmology has questioned ΛCDM. We just realized our world is curved. We can calculate the radius of our 4D spherical universe, from the mismatch between the two divergent ways of measuring the size of the universe.
      * In a theory of space, the main law is conservation of space. so space is not elastic. it cannot stretch. so classic waves don't exist. so when a wave forms, the entire space shrinks. Space must shrink for matter to be created. (That's what happens inside a black hole btw) No theory accounts for this. we finally can. If the world is a sphere, any matter created in this world, must DRAMATICALLY shrink the entire world. We always did know a theory of everything will be all about E=mc2. but now we get to use E=mgh and E=0.5mv2 to prove it. Something any kid understands. Isn't it fun?
      * You said: "The source of the mass of the neutrino remains a mystery, It seems to point to new as yet undiscovered Physics, and it confirms the standard model is incomplete, which is not a bad thing." So all I need to do is come up with a quantum gravity model that helps calculate the mass of all particles, and the fine structure constant. Dirac has already done that.
      Thanks Arvin. You gave me just what I needed for a breakthrough.

    Ash is very specified on supernovae .He is like a good teacher removed the dust and Ash from standard model table..
    He also went beyond to Higgs mechanism to put the mystery of neutrino and generation. Though neutrinos are charge les handless unlike electron's family.
    Thank you they are every where.
