An astonishing culmination of discoveries taking place over the last decade has led to a revolution in our understanding of neutrinos –one of nature’s most elusive particles. Originally proposed by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 as a “desperate remedy” to save the law of conservation of energy, these chargeless, weakly-interacting, and (nearly) massless particles that permeate throughout the cosmos have been challenging our understanding of particle physics. During my talk, I will discuss the implications that come from a massive neutrino, and the current experimental efforts devoted to measuring neutrino mass.
