minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoEver since hearing this, I’ve wondered what would happen if one did have a lightyear of lead. Is it possible to stop a neutrino without destroying it? What would happen if I collected a bunch of stationary neutrinos in one place? What would they look like? What would they feel like?
minus-squareExocrinous@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoThe slower a neutrino goes, the faster it decays. This is because slowing it down makes time dilation less of a factor.
minus-squareMonkderZweite@feddit.chlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoNeurinos are products of space-time dilation?
minus-squareKühe sind toll@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoNot directly. But since fast objects are affected by time dilatation(time is slower for them(at least from our perspective)) they have a longer lifespan(from our point of view).
minus-squareZron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoConsidering they really hate interacting with stuff, they probably wouldn’t feel like anything.
minus-squarethreelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoSo could I pick up a lump of neutrino matter? Or would they pass right through my fingers even when stationary?
