      Hi, I’m sorry, I don’t know this one! I think you would need to ask a physicist as it’stoo specialised for me! Apparently physicists used to think neutrinos had no mass at all but now they think they probably do, but it is very very very tiny, even less than the other subatomic particles.

      Sorry I can’t be more precise!

      I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to this as it’s way outside my area of work! I think you’d need to ask someone who’s got a degree in physics – sorry!

      I don’t think anyone will ever know for sure since they are just sooooo small! Did you see this in the news today? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18702455
