Abstract: Neutrinos have mass. This profound discovery was made using the SuperKamiokande detector in Japan, a huge flooded cavern lined with photomultiplier tubes and designed to detect different sorts of neutrino. The implications are tremendous: it is the first time that any phenomenon beyond the Standard Model of particle physics has been observed unequivocally. This mass detection is powerful support for a new unified theory of fundamental physics, based on SO(10) symmetry.
