If 1016 reach earth - one will hit something somewhere.
With one thousand tons of water, and 1016 every second since the big bang - 1 EVENT !!! Pauli: “I have done
a terrible thing!”

The Foresight
Can you tell a neutrino from an
anti-neutrino?
MAJORANA
may be its own antiparticle !

Is Massless or Very Light ?
“Direct” experiments m (e) < few eV
TheoryNo good reason for massless Simple argument for very light . is the only “chargeless” particle.
All quarks and leptons “Dirac Mass” also “Majorana Mass”

Theorists predicted a new meson with a certain mass.
A particle was found soon after, having the right mass.
A second particle, very slightly heavier, was found soon after.
The second particle turned out to be the predicted meson.
The first particle turned out to be an unexplained heavy lepton,
identical to the electron in all its properties, except its mass.
