How many are there in a cubic in inch?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The number density of each neutrino species is theorized to be about 56 per cubic centimeter, for a total number density of around 150 neutrinos per cubic centimeter.

That's about 2500 per cubic inch.

where did you get that information, if you don't mind my asking

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
