- dnautics 6y ago... except that neutrinos are detectable. Kind of an important distinction.
- cthalupa 6y agoWe decided neutrinos almost certainly existed long before we could detect them.
- dnautics 6y agoThis not the same; at the time when they were postulated due to mass defect in nuclear reactions, there was a reasonable mechanism of detecting them, if nothing else the principle of microscopic reversibility. With current dark matter there literally is no known way of detecting them that doesn't beg the question, and all of our attempts to identify them are literally "shots in the dark".
