I have learned that the lifetime of the particle is determinded by the force where by the decay is proceeded. A particle like the Pi menson, decay's very rapidy because of it is proceeded by the strong force. the lifetime is in the range of 10^{-24} second. for Particle's witch decays by the...

The neutron decey is proceeded bij the weak force. Therefore I would expect a lifetime of 10^{-10} second But it is about 15 minutes, Why does it take so long? is it because of the proton and neutron do not have a big mass difference ?

How did sir Hendric Antoon Lorentz got to his formula: F= B v q Was i just experimental? or is this something witch follows out of the maxwell equesions or wath?

I have al ready learned a lot here. but Reilly, i can't open your PDF document, you should try to click the link.

is a neutrino treuly massless? i though it had a mass

I gues it has to do with the fact that its an anti neutrino/ thank you al for you answers , i thank you all very much.

So wath is the problem then? A foton is also an neutral particle. Al electron and positron pair is also neutral. why must the particles be charged ?

When an gamma foton interacts with matter it can produce an Electron-pisitron pair. Why don't lower energy fotons sometime's produce an neutrino-antineutrino pair. Lepton number and charche wil be concerved (please forgive me for me bad english)
