RE: A breakthrough in astrophysics - observation of a first powerful engine to accelerate cosmic rays

Finally the opportunity came up, we'll explained sir. I developed interest in this aspect of physics wrote a post on quantum mechanics and to continue that post I have had so many challenges and no answers yet

1, is the universe going to be different if neutrinos do not have mass? 💁

2, Why is it that only charged particles has the abilities to emit cherenkov in glass and neutrinos cannot

Sort:

At some scale, yes. As this requires for instance physics beyond the Standard Model to be explained.

2, Why is it that only charged particles has the abilities to emit cherenkov in glass and neutrinos cannot

Neutrinos do not interact electromagnetically. In other words, they do not interact with photons (or light).

neutrinos do not interact electromagnetically

Now that I find the most interesting about these lil fellas

That indeed makes them the most weakly interacting particle of the entire standard model :)
