I feel that neutrinos constitute an interesting category in the family of elementary particles due to their spontaneous high speeds comparable to that of photons.
Neutrinos should have different intrinsic structures when compared with other fermions. Similarly, photons which surely have different intrinsic structures when compared with other bosons may be singled out also.

bottomlander;29187. You're welcome. I do believe however that neutrinos travel identically at c, like photons. SN1987a in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is ~ 170,000 light years away. The coincidences seen had traveled for ~5,361,120,000,000 seconds..(I rounded the years to 365 days.) The delay time was ~ 2 seconds, and that's really a human error, as the IMB was set by a technician's second hand on his watch. Kamiokande was on Universal Time. Even so, if you divide the two times....they are 0.9999999999992/1.0. So I'd say to eleven sig figs they're equal, and neutrinos are massless too. Remember that experiments searching for neutrino oscillations all involve matter path lengths that are miles in length, and MSW matter oscillations only delimit the upper bounds on possible neutrino masses. The zero mass Fermionic neutrino lives yet. It also saves the Laws of Electron, Muon, and Tau Family Number....something never seen violated in a particle physics lab. Not one experiment, not one run, not one event in trillions. Nada. Nicht. Nein. Das ist Gut. Pete.
