Kajita becomes Nobel physics prize co-winner
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Company) ^ | October 6, 2015 | NHK

A Japanese scientist has won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Takaaki Kajita proved that neutrinos have mass. The neutrino is an elementary particle consisting of matter.

Kajita observed neutrinos at a facility deep underground. He was part of a team that detected that some of the particles change to different types of neutrino. That proved neutrinos have mass. The discoveries were revealed at an international conference in 1998.

His work surprised researchers all around the world because it disproved the established theory that neutrinos do not have mass.

Kajita is the 24th Nobel Prize winner born in Japan. And he's the 11th to win the Physics award.

Neutrinos have mass? Who knew that subatomic particles could be Catholic as well?

Well, there is the God Particle, so doesn’t it follow?

Shared the award with Canadian Physicist Arthur McDonald.

But do Baptist neutrinos only have communion?

They’re out trying to evangelize the other particles.

Making other particles change? Trans-particles? What, spin or mass dysphoria? This trans-agenda is going too far!

I thought that this had been proven years ago.

May have to read a new book about neutrinos now.
