Instead, the image is based on subatomic particles called neutrinos.

取而代之是，这幅图像是基于被称为中微子亚原子粒子。

Scientists discovered the high-energy neutrinos in ice deep below Antarctica's surface.

If CERN's neutrinos really are travelling faster than light, it is therefore a big deal.

因此，如果欧洲原子核研究组织中微子果真跑得比光快，这一结果义重大。

How about I help you design an even better solar neutrino detector?

不如让我来忙你设计一个更好太阳中微子探测？

You guys hit the baskets, I'll disarm the drunkenly-improvised neutrino bomb.

你们投球，我来解除这枚醉后即兴制作中微子炸弹。

Theory said that a muon neutrino could almost instantly change into an electron neutrino.

理论上，μ中微子几乎能秒变称电子中微子。

Well, I spent most of the afternoon growing isotopically pure crystals for neutrino detection.

我整个下午都忙着在生成同位素纯水晶来探测微中子。

I think it's time Frederick Reines finally gets his due for the neutrino.

我觉得是时候让弗雷德里克·莱因斯以他在中微子领域贡献得奖了。

I should think so, he confirmed the neutrino's existence 35 years ago.

我想应该是，他可是在35年前就证了中微子存在。

The neutrinos themselves are created by smashing bunches of protons into a target made of graphite.

中微子产生于一些质子束轰击一个石墨目标后产生脉冲介子，介子随后衰变而成。

So what physicists are trying to learn is how fast neutrinos and their antineutrinos change flavor.

所以物理学家设法了解是中微子和反中微子改变味有多快。

So where do we find these neutrinos in their antineutrinos?

我们在哪儿可以找到中微子和它们反中微子呢？

We'll save neutrinos for another day.

我们将把中微子留到下一次。

Neilson said neutrinos are elementary particles, meaning they are not made up of anything smaller.

尼尔森说，中微子是基本粒子，这味着它们不是由更小东西组成。

Rather they are observable because of the neutrinos originating in the galaxy.

相反，它们是可以观测到，因为中微子起源于银河系。

Surely there's a better use of my intellect. - Son, we're building a solar neutrino detector.

一定有更能发挥我聪明才智地方？ - 崽啊，我们要搭建一个太阳中微子探测。

Can I ask… why exactly are we looking for solar neutrinos?

我能问一下… … 我们为什么要找太阳中微子吗？

Without in-flight transformations, only about five incoming neutrinos would be the electron flavor.

如果在飞行中未转变，对岸探测只能收到约5个电子中微子。

A team of scientists have said that they recorded subatomic particles called neutrinos travelling faster than light.

一些科学家表示，他们记录到一种叫做中微子次原子粒子速度超过光速。
