Nobel Prize in Physics 2026

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2026 is another Prize assigned to the neutrino as a "ghost particle" invented by Wolfgang Pauli to describe an apparent loss of energy in beta-decay which nobody could explain. Pauli was not happy with his baby because it had no features at all, no mass, no charge, nothing. This is what the Nobel Prize home page has to say

• The neutrino is the shyest particle in the universe, has no electric charge and almost no mass. In general, it passes unnoticed through matter – seldom does a neutrino make its presence felt by colliding with an atomic nucleus. 
• Every second, without you noticing, 65 billion neutrinos from the Sun flow through your little finger nail.

The 2026 Prize went to detection of a couple of high energy neutrinos from outer space in a one kilometer ice-cube in the South Pole ice mass, not directly because the neutrino is too shy to show but indirectly as a little flash of light supposedly the trace of neutrino flying by.

This is what RealQM says about neutrinos and beta-decay.
