  1. The origin of particle masses is tied to interactions with fields, such as the Higgs field, which imparts mass to elementary particles. However, neutrinos present a significant anomaly. Unlike other particles, their tiny masses don’t align neatly with the Standard Model’s predictions. What types of masses neutrinos have—Dirac, Majorana, or something else—remains uncertain. These gaps in our understanding hint at deeper physics beyond the current framework. #ParticleMass #Higgs
