 Definition A stable fundamental subatomic particle of matter (no internal structure) classified as a lepton; for electron-associated neutrinos evidence pointing to a finite mass less than an electron, lacking electrical charge, extremely non-interacting with matter; evident in three flavors (varieties or types): electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos, each with a charged partner, the electron, the muon, and the tau, respectively.

Start Neutrino as stub

Start Neutrino as stub. Needs checking/editing/developing by physicists. Anthony.Sebastian 19:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hoping to develop article at student level, high school, freshman college. Anthony.Sebastian 04:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Boxed quotations are obsolete and should be deleted

The boxed quotations should be removed. They are strangely outdated, despite their recent origin. For example, the quotation by Aniĉin seemingly ignores the notion that matter as we know it is only an insignificant portion of what constitutes the universe, which is mainly dark matter and dark energy. The quotation by Close ignores the fact that we know nothing significant about dark energy and dark matter, and we do know at least a little about neutrinos. John R. Brews 15:23, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree, both authors apparently failed to consider 'dark matter' and 'dark energy'. I will review the original sources to see if I missed something. In the meantime, I will delete the boxed quotations. Thanks. Anthony.Sebastian 03:24, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Neutrino mass, neutrino oscillations

It would be really good to have a section on neutrino mass and oscillations. If I can, I'll try to put something together. Mark Widmer (talk) 17:55, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Not that I know a mass from an oscillation, but if you put it together, I'll read it!Pat Palmer (talk) 19:51, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
