Astronomers can determine the heat of various areas of the universe by making observations about energy they emit. Gamma rays can be found in areas where there is a lot of star formation occurring.
What would you guess about the temperature of these areas? Explain why.Do you think there would be a lot of particles present? Explain why.

For leptons, what's the pattern between generation? Since we have not determine the mass of the neutrinos yet, which neutrino would you guess is the most massive versus the least massive so far. (this is a pure guess without experimental measurement, so there's no right or wrong answer yet). For the Bosons (including the Higgs), what pattern do you observe among their masses?arrow_forward
