SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the existence of right-handed neutrinos and their potential interaction with matter, as highlighted in a recent Fermilab video. While the consensus leans towards the possibility of their existence, definitive evidence remains elusive. Participants express curiosity about how one could ascertain the presence of right-handed neutrinos, indicating a gap in current experimental capabilities.

The new fermilab video ends with a teaser: Do right-handed neutrinos exist or is it that they do not interact with matter? (at 7:30) For those of us who cannot wait for the next video to find out, is there a clear answer?

Most likely there is, but we do not know what it is.

How would you know if there were?
