The origin of neutrino mass
TLDR
The universe is filled with neutrinos as discussed by the authors, which were created less than one second after the Big Bang and remain in the universe today because they interact very weakly with matter.Abstract:
IF WE look deep into the universe, we see stars and galaxies of all shapes and sizes. What we do not see, however, is that the universe is filled with particles called neutrinos. These particles – which have no charge and have little or no mass – were created less than one second after the Big Bang, and large numbers of these primordial low-energy neutrinos remain in the universe today because they interact very weakly with matter. Indeed, every cubic centimetre of space contains about 300 of these uncharged relics.read more

Neutrino Mass
TL;DR: A review article about the most recent developments on the field of neutrino mass is presented in this paper, where the authors discuss the experimental prospects and challenges in this area and discuss the implications of these results for particle physics and cosmology.

On the Possible Deeper Structure of Leptons and Quarks: A View of the "Ultron"-"Logotron" Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the author proposed a hypothesis of the "ultron-logotron" theory that might explain relationships between self and consciousness: mind and matter on the basis of modern quantum physics and his personal experience of valid precognitive dreams.

Problems in Neutrinos and Intergalactic Communication
TL;DR: In this article, the authors briefly review a few problems in neutrino research and the possible use of neutrinos for interstellar and intergalactic communications, and the issue is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence by NE communication reception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Realism, reference & perspective
Carl Hoefer,Genoveva Martí +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that descriptivism is not the right account of the meaning and reference of theoretical terms and suggest that an account along the lines of the causal-historical theory of reference provides a more faithful picture of how terms for unobservable theoretical entities and properties come to refer.

The just-so Higgs story: a response to Adrian Wüthrich
TL;DR: Wuthrich as mentioned in this paper pointed out that many physicists see the Higgs mechanism as the rollover from a symmetrical potential in the initial Lagrangian to a symmetry-breaking potential.

Unity of All Elementary Particle Forces
Howard Georgi,Sheldon L. Glashow +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces are conjectured to arise from a single fundamental interaction based on the gauge group SU(5), which is known as SU(4).

A Universal Gauge Theory Model Based on E6
TL;DR: In this article, a universal gauge theory based on E6 is suggested as a model for the unification of strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions, and the Weinberg angle and the R ratio are derived and the stability of the proton is discussed.
