The neutrons shrink, and this is a good thing for physics

On Thursday, researchers revealed the most accurate measurement so far from neutrino, which reduced the possible maximum of the ghost mass of the material that permeates our world.

The result, Published In the magazine, it does not specify the microscopic mass of neutrino, only the upper limit. But the result helps in making physicists closer to knowing what is wrong in the alleged standard model, and their best-and if incomplete-in the laws that govern the world without atomic. One of the ways that physicists know is not completely accurate is that it indicates that neutrino should not have any mass at all.

In the great scales, learn more about neutrons will help the scientists of the universe to fill their blurring image of the universe, including how galaxies are assembled together and what affects the expansion of the universe since the big explosion.

“We are looking for an attempt to understand the reason for our existence here,” said John Wilcson, a physicist at North Carolina University, Chuch Hill and a new study author. “This is something that the neutrons may have a major role in it.”

Physicists know some things about neutrons. It is a prolific production across the universe, which was actually created at any time of offspring or rupture. But they do not carry any electrical charge and difficult to discover.

Neutronat also comes in three types, described by physicists as flavors. It is strange that they turn from one flavor to another while they are moving across the place and time, which is a recognized discovery by the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015.
