THE MASS PROBLEM. “There is perhaps just one irritating gap, and that is that we do not understand the masses of the elementary particles. A particular case of this is the neutrino mass problem. Neutrinos are produced in the interior of stars, in radioactive decays and in nuclear reactors. They are very hard to detect, as most of them pass right through the Earth without hitting anything on the way. The question is whether neutrinos have mass, or whether, like the photons that constitute light (and X-rays, and microwaves, and radio waves, and so on), they are massless.”
