The question why precisely the neutrino only has very little mass is not quite settled yet, but could possibly be settled in the future. There are several different scenarios on the table how the small Neutrino masses arise, and we don't know yet which one, if any, is correct.
I'm not lost yet—I don't think. So is the process by which a Higgs boson gives mass to an electron different from the process by which a W (gauge) boson turns an electron into a neutrino?
Please, please, I beg you say yes. Because if you say no, I will go to the store and buy ten bottles of Tylenol and donate my brain to science fiction.
Isn't it obvious neutrinos don't have mass because they're protestant.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
