This is from my text:
The existence of the neutrino was first predicted in 1931 by Wolfgang Pauli, when certain nuclear reactions appeared to be violating the laws of conservation of energy and momentum. Rather than modify or discard the law, Pauli suggested that an unseen, chargeless and probably massless particle was carrying away some of the energy and momentum
My question is will this energy and momentum ever affect "normal" matter again? (normal matter being the stuff you and I are made of. It looks like neutrinos rarely interact with matter, so is this energy forever trapped in the neutrinos, never to effect matter again?
