Abstract:
Neutrinos are the most elusive messengers of the quantum world — almost massless, neutral, yet fundamental to the structure of matter and the evolution of the Universe. Their discovery transformed our understanding of the weak interaction, while their strange properties hint that the Standard Model is not the full story.
This lecture follows the neutrino’s path from theoretical enigma to a key player in modern physics. Its quantum transformations reveal a profound interplay between mass, flavor, and symmetry, and continue to guide the quest for a unified description of nature — one that may ultimately bridge the smallest quantum scales with the grandest cosmic structures.
