And is it neutrinos that might make up dark matter? Ty

Also don’t neutrinos change flavors traveling a distance? And what’s the difference between those and a neutral one? I get the idea of neutral. So there’s 4 kinds of neutrinos including the neutral one? Ty

Thank you for the clarification

I’m very interested in neutrino studies and what that has to do with dark matter. Also Rupert Sheldrake proposes that matter is frozen light. What are your thoughts on this? Ty

Sterile neutrinos are a favorite dark matter candidate. The evidence isn't leaning towards any particle at the moment. Sheldrake got that from David Bohm. Bohm was talking about the origins of massive particles. He didn't mean "light" but fields moving at light speed which are massless fields. The idea is that all mass arises from interactions of massless particles at short ranges such as interaction between nuclear forces or even with the Higgs field.
