Takaaki Kajita, 56, director of the University of Tokyo’s Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Arthur McDonald of Queen’s University, Canada, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday.

The Nobel Prize for Medicine in medicine was awarded Monday to Tu Youyou, William Campbell and Satoshi Omura for their work in developing treatments for diseases including malaria. I dont know what to say, he said after taking the stage.
He called McDonald “the epitome of scientific leadership”.
Professors Anne L’Huillier, Goran K. Hansson and Olga Botner (from left), members of the Nobel Assembly, talk to the media in Stockholm on October. 6, 2015. They joined 199 laureates, including Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Marie Curie, who have been honored with the prize since 1901.
See video about SNOLAB and work on neutrinos. That in turn means they must have mass.
This year is no different with Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald coming across a discovery that has the power to change our current understanding of the universe. McDonald works at Queen’s University, in Kingston, Canada. In a statement, the two scientists, they found that neutrinos change the identity of the research was pointed out that this was an indication of the metamorphosis of a mass of neutrinos actually. It takes a lot of people and a long time. They come from a variety of sources in the cosmos, on Earth and in Earth’s atmosphere.
Neutrinos are minuscule and created in nuclear reactions, such as in the sun and the stars. Neutrinos are so small that about a billion neutrinos pass through a human thumb every second. Katie was able to demonstrate this in 1998, when an experiment conducted by him and his colleagues showed neutrinos flipping between two identities while en route to the Super-Kamiokande detector (3,300 feet underground). Three years later, McDonald, using the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory built in a mine in Canada, showed the same thing happened with neutrinos created deep in the interior of the Sunday.
“This is great news for the neutrino community”, said Naba Mondal, project director for the INO. Which makes detecting and studying them a wee bit hard.
That’s the question scientists at PNNL are working to answer.
According to experts, neutrinos are all around us since the beginning of the universe. They nearly always sail through normal matter like it’s not even there, and particle physicists seem to love making that personal.

Both scientists were working separately to prove the same point. With this type of calculations, we know much more about the nature of the universe, the structure of matter.
