    where are all the right-handed neutrinos?

    astrophysicists, astronomers, cosmologists, scientists are all looking for the right-handed neutrinos. They still can't find them. Is the universe left-handed? There still no satisfactory answer to this fundamental cosmological question. Is the fault in our experimental detectors or mathematical equations?

    Is it possible that a source(sender) only produces right-handed neutrinos and the receiver(detector) only detects left-handed neutrinos? Maybe a dumb question?

    John,

    can I shakehand with my image in the mirror?

    What's your point? I'm sorry, I don't see the relevance?

    Please explain......John

    time reversal

    John,

    my mirror image is just a time reversal transformation of the real image. It's more subtle than being the antimatter. For antimatters, the result of any interaction is energy so if i shake hand with my image, pure energy is created. But since the image mirror is really travelling into the past, while i'm travelling into the future, the two images will never meet in our time or time=0, two distinct directions of time. right-handed neutrinos might be moving backward in time.

    Hi Antonio;

    Since "all" observations are "reflections" of past events, maybe right-handed neutrinos are moving forward in time?

    Goldhaber's dont think so

    John,

    Maurice Goldhaber of BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) when celebrating his 90th birthday in July 26, 2001 still did not think that right-handed neutrinos exist.

    His experiment on neutrino helicity was done in 1958 with Grodzins and Sunyar. It was considered as a classic and beautiful experiment.

    Antonio;

    If you believe that, why do you pose the question?

    they are in a parallel universe

    John,

    all the right-handed neutrinos are meeting in a parallel universe. This parallel universe is time-reversed. It is contracting, in contrast, ours is expanding. Our total angular momentum,which is all the quanta of energy added together is responsible for the contracting force and vice versa this contracting force of the parallel universe is sustaining our expansion. The net effect is conservation of total angular momentum (both universes together) and this then validates the CPT Theorem. This theorem is a powerful principle for the laws of invariance of nature's symmetries. If ours is left-handed, the parallel universe is right-handed. The symmetry is preserved eternally.

    Antonio;

    Sorry, I can't buy into the parallel universe theory. I hope I'm around to see the final word on this matter.

    Cheers.......John
