I don't know any answers here, but this is an awesome question. I too am now super-curious about the Cosmic Neutrino Background. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

...And I suppose there are probably good reasons for this to be impossible, but wouldn't it be wild if a "mechanism" for things like the "randomness" of beta decay were that a really slow/low energy neutrino from the big bang interacts with a neutron, causing it to decay into a proton, and an electron, and the neutrino gets a boost in energy as well.
- mr_toad 2y agoAntineutrinos can cause inverse beta decay, so maybe neutrinos can cause inverse fusion? Edit: apparently it just causes transmutation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestake_experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestake_experiment
- floxy 2y agoThere are various kinds of neutrino interactions: https://www.vivaxsolutions.com/physics/feynman-diagrams.aspx https://www.vivaxsolutions.com/physics/feynman-diagrams.aspx ...(scroll down for the nice animated diagrams).
