Opinion of the Atlas Forum

[President Tyrion]

FF - Fortunately there hasn't been an "Opinion of Pessimistic Antineutrino" thread yet. Probably because I don't do anything.

Perhaps if you elaborated more on why you don't like neutrinos, you'd gain more respect on the forum.

I'm not anti-neutrino although they are pretty much pointless. Since they have no charge, and just pass through matter it's pretty much impossible to have an opinion about them one way or another.
Antineutrinos, as far as I'm concerned, don't even exist because there cannot be an opposite of a neutral particle. But it sounds better than "Pessimistic Neutrino or Pessimistic Muon".

We already have a pessimistic Muon.

Oh, it's possible.  I think they're great, and just wish there were more of them, so they could explain the dark matter mystery.

There you go--proving no topic is too obscure to argue over! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

I suppose you don't like the idea that neutrinos (and antineutrinos) come in three distinct flavors, but can oscillate between flavors as they travel through space. And without the antineutrino how would we explain radioactive beta decay (part of carbon dating and nuclear medicine among many applications)? Even my favorite particle, the muon, needs both a neutrino and antineutrino in its decay.
