TL;DR
The proton rest mass value calculation of
The proton rest mass value calculation of 1.672,621,71?, times 10 inverse 27 kg, where does the figure originate from? What kind of figure is it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1.672,621,71x 10-27 is not a calculation; it is just a (very small) number.

1.672,621,71x 10-27kg is the mass of a proton.

Do you mean how did we determine how much a proton masses? Did you try Googling that to see where it leads you?

Hint: Read up a little on "Penning Trap".
 
Hi everyone, I am doing a final project on the title " fundamentals of neutrino physics". I wanted to raise some issues with neutrino which makes it the possible way to the physics beyond standard model. I am myself doing some research on these topics but at some points the math bugs me out. Anyway, i have some questions which answers themselves confounded me due to the complicated math. Some pf them are: 1. Why wouldn't there be a mirror image of a neutrino? Is it because they are...
