Today we watched a couple of clips about Neutrinos. The understanding of neutrinos is critical to understanding the sun, but it is just as important to get the back story.
Movie 1
Movie 2
Cartoon Movie 3
You will be going to the Ghost Particle website to try to unravel the story of Ray Davis and John Bahcall, who persevered over 40 years to find out the true story about neutrinos. Your goal is to figure out what type of person which would create a lab that could only detect 12 particles per week, and what type of person would insist his math was correct when critics were panning him.
Post your reflections on your blog.
