Apparently easier said then done.

Neutrons ARE a form of electrons. (leptons)


snip crap

neutron: classification baryon, electric charge 0

neutrino: elementary particle, electric charge 0

electron: elementary particle, electric charge 1.6 X 10-19 C

proton: classification baryon, electric charge 1.6 X 10-19 C


I wonder if Art meant to say "Neutrinos ARE a form of electrons.
(leptons)".

That would be closer to the truth than what was actually quoted above,
in that electrons and neutrinos are both leptons.

It's still incorrect, though, according to the definitions I've read.
Although neutrinos and electrons are both leptons, that doesn't mean
that "neutrinos are a form of electrons".

By analogy: dogs and cats are both mammals. That doesn't mean that
dogs are a type of cat, or that cats are a type of dog.

For what it's worth - I have seen no evidence at all to indicate that
flows of neutrinos have anything whatsoever to do with the behavior of
antennas or with the transfer of electromagnetic energy from/to
antennas and/or free space.
