Is There a Fourth Neutrino Out There in the Universe?
- sproketboy 8y agoMaybe.
- komali2 8y agoPlease note: Unrelated to article content. https://i.imgur.com/htxpRh7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/htxpRh7.jpg Medium's viewport is now about an inch tall on my phone, unless I carefully click 3 different 1sqmm X's. That's... Gross.
- wtallis 8y agoEven on my laptop, I'm no longer able to browse without a bookmarklet handy to remove sticky position elements. Vertical space is at enough of a premium just from the prevalence of widescreen aspect ratios; we don't need so many inch-tall menu bars and overlays getting in the way of the real content.
- mabey 8y agoYeah. I have the sticky header bookmarklet saved first in my bookmarks so I can hit it whenever I browse Medium on mobile.
- jciochon 8y agoThis sounds useful, would you mind sharing?

- make3 8y agoyou could just use greasemonkey or whatever the chrome equivalent is instead
- remcob 8y ago"An app designed for readers." Ironic.
- Stratoscope 8y agoI can read every word in that screenshot! The only words I can't read are the words not visible in the screenshot.
- russellbeattie 8y agoI set this flag in Chrome so I always get the "Show Simplified View" prompt. It can sometimes get in the way, but it's generally nice to have. Wish it was simply a menu option. chrome://flags/#reader-mode-heuristics
- stevenhuang 8y ago:o It seems I don't have this flag. I'm running chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit. edit: Ah mobile only I see..
- cocochanel 8y agoMedium annoys me so hard I just give up on reading content and close the page.
- riffraff 8y agoI do the same. I feel this was not always the case but now the banners are so annoying I have just given up on medium-hosted content.
- jakeogh 8y agoWorks beautifully without JS.
- bvinc 8y agoI've switched all of my mobile browsing to Firefox with ublock origin. I've got the "annoyance" filters enabled. It's a game changer.
- wiredfool 8y agoMedium seems to be a poor webhost from my POV.
- CamperBob2 8y agoI thought Joachim Kopp's article at https://physics.aps.org/articles/v11/122 https://physics.aps.org/articles/v11/122 was an even better explanation in some ways. It was buried as a link in the middle of the medium.com article.
- breadbox 8y agoI found Kopp's article easier to follow after reading Siegel's, myself. YMMV
- qubex 8y agoYNMO
- hypochondria 8y ago> YNMO What?
- qubex 8y agoYour Neutrino May Oscillate — physics humour
- hypochondria 8y agoI'll believe you, but a google search for that phrase brings up nothing.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWell, neutrino detection is hard... Right. I'll show myself out.
- qubex 8y ago> I’ll show myself out. We hadn’t even confirmed you’d arrived.
- ravedave5 8y agoI wonder if solar neutrino detection could be done on a satellite heading towards the sun. Seems like the signals may vary over distance from the sun (guessing here) perhaps providing some insight.
- gotocake 8y agoThe problem with that at present is our only way to detect neutrinos is by using loads of mass, usually ice, water, or xenon. It’s going to be tough to launch a glacier or a vast tank of xenon to make up the body of a detector. We’d need some novel form of detection that isn’t dependent on the occasional reaction of a neutrino as it passes theough a huge body of something. Sadly, that isn’t on the horizon and would ironically require a better understanding of neutrino interactions before it could be done, if it could be done.
- FreeFull 8y agoEven worse, most neutrino detectors rely on being under thick masses of rock to filter out things like cosmic rays, which would otherwise completely flood the detectors.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoSo what you're saying is we need to capture an icy asteroid and stick a probe in it?
- BurningFrog 8y agoAnd somehow not have it melt next to the sun.
- lisper 8y agoThat would actually be the least of your worries. Ice is actually a pretty good insulator because it doesn't convect. Comets are giant snowballs. They regularly venture close to the sun and only lose a small percentage of their mass.
