Scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of so-called sterile neutrinos, mysterious particles that pass through matter without interacting with it at all.
The first hints these elusive particles turned up decades ago. But after years of dedicated searches, scientists have been unable to find any other evidence for them, with many experiments contradicting those old results. These new results now leave scientists with two robust experiments that seem to demonstrate the existence of sterile neutrinos, even as other experiments continue to suggest sterile neutrinos don't exist at all.
That means there's something strange happening in the universe that is making humanity's most cutting-edge physics experiments contradict one another.
Sterile neutrinos
Back in the mid-1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND), an experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, found evidence of a mysterious new particle: a "sterile neutrino" that passes through matter without interacting with it. But that result couldn't be replicated; other experiments simply couldn't find any trace of the hidden particle. So the result was set aside.

If it exists, it should exist. This means the scientists’ equations are wrong, and must be replaced by equations that work.

I think this is research trying to determine why the neutrino count for the sun is quite a bit lower, maybe 2/3’s lower, than it is supposed to be for a 5 billion year old sun.

Someone sold us a used sun and rolled back the odometer to make it look younger.

Across your open mind
I trace erratic lines
In motion and in time
I fought a battle won
To the surface of the sun
Through fires on and on
It’s only you
It can’t be me
For I myself refuse to be
I am someone you’ll never know
I am the little neutrino
Solus is not far away
It’s face is brighter than a day
So don’t turn me away
It’s only you
It can’t be me
For I myself refuse to be
I am someone you’ll never know
I am the little neutrino
And now I’m passing through
The one who’s known as you
And yet you’ll never know I do
“Good-night”

....and, of course, their experiments have been unmistakably correct ever since they started calling themselves ‘scientists’. (Why all the little flags around that place? Do they have geo-caches all over or are they afraid someone isnt going to see the only multi story building in Antarctica?)

I think neutrinos may turn out to be the most important particles in all of nature.
IIRC, research on these remarkable particles has been rewarded with at least four Nobel prizes.
They are incredibly tiny and elusive, but each one seems to carry a lot of information.
The neutron was discovered in 1932, and applied to warfare only 13 years later. Learning to use neutrons changed history in a big way.
Neutrinos were discovered in 1959, although evidence for their existence was first detected in 1930, in the mind of Wolfgang Pauli.
Neutrinos can be used to make CAT scans of the center of the earth.
Ok, humor me on this one - but the first thing I think of is when Jesus, after he was risen, appeared to the disciples in a locked room. Yes, He, being the Creator, can do what He wants - but it would be a hoot if someday he explains to us - “Yeah - about that - I was just pure Sterile Neutrinos in that moment when I passed through the wall into the room...”
Just like God to confound the ‘wise’.
“pass through matter without interacting with it at all.”
Presumably they have mass, so they’d interact gravitationally, at least.
