Nobel

I'm pretty stoked to know that all that work on neutrinos in that mine in Sudbury has paid off; Canada is getting a Nobel prize in physics on the confirmation that neutrinos change form, and one can thus infer, have mass (although very very little).

What this all means is not clear, but it is touted as opening a new era in Physics. The three recognized forms of the neutrino are each a product of a certain lepton breaking up. (Leptons are particles subject to the weak force i.e. radioactive decay).That one can eventually have the signature of the other is akin to ending up with a Pepsi stain drinking Seven-Up; it does open up some questions.

Congratulations to Dr  McDonald!
