They split into fine sheets, which puts them in the phyllosilicate group of silicate minerals.
All are monoclinic which means their crystals are shaped like one kind of prism.
They tend towards pseudo-hexagonal crystals and are similar in chemical composition.
The highly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms.
Talc (from the Arabic talk) is a silicate mineral, a type of clay.
It is the standard for grade 1 in the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
A fingernail can easily scratch it.
Talc is composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2.
Talc and pyrophyllite are very similar, but pyrophyllite may be slightly harder.
Talc has a greasy feel and a translucent, soapy look.
In loose form, it is the widely used substance known as talcum powder.
Steatite, also called soapstone, is a rock with a lot of talc.

Kratos is a minor Ancient Greek god or demon.
His name comes from the Greek word for "power" or "strength".
He was a guardian of the throne of Zeus.
Kratos was the second son of Zeus  and also the brother of Nike, Zelus, and Bia.
He was one of the few people who dragged Prometheus to the rock where he was chained.
His name is used as part of other words about power, including democracy, theocracy, plutocracy, aristocracy and dictator.
This Kratos is not to be confused with the protagonist of the video game franchise "God of War."
That Kratos is a Spartan warrior and son of Zeus, who is enslaved by Ares, the Greek God of War.
Over the course of the original God of War game, Kratos escapes bondage and becomes the new God of War by slaying Ares.
However, that title is stripped from Kratos by Zeus at the beginning of God of War II.
Their exact rank is the matter of some debate.
Some botanists recommend expanding the existing plant kingdom to include charophyceans and chlorophytes.
Others classify Charophyceae as a class under division Charophyta, with Chlorophyta remaining a distinct division.
There are also other possibilities.
Many of the complex plant traits related to sexual reproduction evolved first in charophyceans.
Analysis of cpDNA (chloroplast DNA) shows that characteristics of plant chloroplasts also evolved first in the charophyceans, before the Zygnematales diverged from the lineage that lead to Coleochaetales, Charales, and the land plants.
Mesostigmatales
Klebsormidiales
Desmidiales
Charales

In behavioural psychology, proactivity is thinking ahead.
It means doing things before they are needed.
It also means preventing something before it happens.
It means the same thing as anticipation.
The term is often used in organizational behaviour.
Proactive behaviour by individuals anticipates situations in the workplace.
It means acting in advance of a situation, rather than just reacting afterwards.
Proactive employees usually do not need to be asked to do something.
They also do not need detailed instructions.
Reactive employees are often controlled by the situation around them.
In an unfamiliar situation they need instructions.
Like the land plants, green algae contain chlorophylls a and b, and store food as starch in their plastids.
Most species are flagellate in at least one stage of their life cycle.
The division contains both unicellular and multicellular species.
While most species live in freshwater habitats and a large number in marine habitats, other species are adapted to a wide range of environments.
Watermelon snow, or Chlamydomonas nivalis, lives on summer alpine snowfields.
Others live attached to rocks or woody parts of trees.
Some lichens are symbiotic relationships between fungi and green algae.
Members of the Chlorophyta also form symbiotic relationships with protozoa, sponges and cnidarians.
Some conduct sexual reproduction.
Political views and ideas which are far from the  mainstream are called extremist.
Such views often violate common moral standards.
As an example, a group that wants to replace a democratic form of government with a totalitarian one is almost always considered extremist.
Political or religious fundamentalism as well as fanaticism can  also be seen as extremist.
What is seen as extremist varies by country.
People who support that Muslim women should wear a burqa may be seen as extremist in France, but such an opinion may not be extremist in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Zilda Arns (August 25, 1934 - January 13, 2010) was a Brazilian doctor and in 1983 set up the Children's Pastoral.
Children's Pastoral is a Catholic church based organization which teaches mother basic health care skills.
It has saved the lives of thousands of babies in Brazil.
She was born in the south of Brazil to German parents.
She studied medicine at university and then set up clinics in Curitiba.
She soon saw that much of the sickness, such as diarrhoea and dehydration could be prevented if parents knew how to care properly for their children.
In 1983, her brother, Paulo Evaristo Arns, a bishop in the Catholic Church encouraged her to set up Children's Pastoral.
It is now in 42,000 Brazilian communities, and has over 260,000 trained volunteers.
Arns was killed in the 2010 Haiti earthquake while speaking to a church group.
She had gone there on a visit to a missionary organization helping with the care of babies.
Marshall Warren Nirenberg (April 10, 1927 - January 15, 2010) was an American biochemist.
He won the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, along with Robert W. Holley and H. Gobind Khorana, for work on the genetic code and protein synthesis
Transphobia or transmisia is any prejudice or discrimination based on bad feelings toward transgender or transsexual people.
This also means refusing them the chance to take part in society, have a job, or forcing prostitution out of them, not only hate speech or hate crime against the transgender person.
In 2009, to prohibit hate crime against transgender people, Matthew Shepard Act was passed and entered into force by recognition of the president Barack Obama in the United States.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees point out the asylum seekers because of gender identity together with the Yogyakarta Principles.
But a transgender woman who has escaped from Guatemala to Denmark has been put into a male centre and raped there.
Now she is in danger to be returned into Guatemala by Danish government.
Transphobia is common all over the world.
It is also found in social justice movements such as feminism.
It is especially associated with radical feminism. '
Transmisogyny' is a word that refers to transphobia towards trans women.
Julia Serano made it popular with her book Whipping Girl.
Cissexism is sometimes used as a synonym for transphobia, and cisphobia is sometimes used as its antonym.
Misgendering and exclusion
Misgendering is when someone does not use the pronouns preferred by a transgender person, deliberately or by accident.
Deadnaming is using a name that someone used before transitioning.
Violence against transgender people
In a 2012 study of transgender people in the United Kingdom, 14% had been sexually assaulted for being transgender.
6% had been raped because they were transgender.
These are hate crimes.
38% had been sexually harassed because they were transgender.
Transphobia at work
In 2013 there was a study about transphobia in the American workforce.
It found that 26% of transgender people had been fired for being transgender.
Transgender people are not protected against employment discrimination under US law.
The National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that 60% of Native American transgender people had not been given a job because of being transgender.
10% were sexually assaulted at work.
Transgender people are put in prison more often than cisgender (non-transgender) people.
The biggest study about discrimination against transgender people found that 16% of transgender people had been in prison.
Black transgender people were even more likely to have been in prison.
41% of black transgender people said that they had been put in prison because of discrimination.
They are often not put in prisons that match their gender identities.
They may also be refused hormones.
A famous example of this is Chelsea Manning.
Transphobia has been identified as a predictor of HIV risk and suicide attempts in transgender people.
A study found that transgender women are 49 times more likely to have HIV compared with adults in general.
Human rights enforcement
In a case before the Human Rights Tribunal in British Columbia several business owners were sued for refusing service to a transgender woman.
The transgender person lost the case.

Adl and colleagues, who produced a classification for eukaryotes in 2005, used the name Chloroplastida for this group, reflecting the group having primary chloroplasts with green chlorophyll.
They rejected the name Viridiplantae on the grounds that most of the species are not plants, as understood traditionally.
Group structure
The monophyletic Chlorophyta and Charophyta are classified under Viridiplantae.
A common classification is:
Streptophyta
Embryophyta
'Green algae' is not used here because they are definitely not monophyletic.
It is just a convenience term for Chlorophyta and Charophyta together.
There are different opinions about the classification.
Another opinion is that only the Charophyceae are closely related to land plants, and that arrangement is simplified as:
Bernard Patrick Morris (b. August 21, 1890 - d. May ?
1963) - was an Canadian ice hockey player for the old Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association.
When the Metropolitans became the first U.S.-based team to win the Stanley Cup in 1917, Morris scored 14 of Seattle's goals (in a best-of-five series).
Born in Brandon, Manitoba, Morris played for several senior teams in Manitoba and Saskatchewan before joining the Victoria Aristocrats of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) in 1914.
He moved over to Seattle the following season, and played eight seasons for Seattle, and was a member of the Stanley Cup champion 1917 team.
He played in two other Finals, the ill-fated 1919 series, and the 1923 series.
He had an outstanding 1917 series, scoring 14 goals in four games.
In 1923, he joined the Calgary Tigers and played a season and a half before joining the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL).
From 1925 unil 1930, he finished his career with various teams in the minor California Pro League, the Can-Pro and International League.

Stimulation of nipples is a sexual act of humans.
Stimulation of the nipples is known to cause the body to release a hormone called oxytocin.
Oxytocin is known to aid in the bonding of individuals.
Natural rights are rights that believe it is important for all humans and animals to have out of (natural law.)
These rights are often viewed as inalienable, meaning they can almost never be taken away.
The concept of what are natural rights has varied throughout history.
the Americans thought the British were being very unfair.
So they created the natural law and the declaration of independence.
Then after the declaration was written they created the united states and became a country.
The idea first came up in ancient times but was discussed most famously by English philosopher John Locke in the 1600's.
Locke said that the most important natural rights are "Life, Liberty, and Property".
In the United States Declaration of Independence, the natural rights mentioned are "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".
The idea was also found in the Declaration of the Rights of Man.
It is viewed by Locke, Jefferson, and others that the purpose of government is to protect peoples' natural rights through a social contract (an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits).
There have been many times in history that natural rights have been breached by both governments and singular people.

The Chimera (, Khimaira, from , khimaros, "she-goat") according to Greek mythology, is a monstrous creature that was composed of several different animals.
The chimera is only one of several famous mythological hybrids.
As with all mythical creatures, there is the question of its origin.
In some traditions, the Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and sister of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.
However, the chimera does not appear to have an existence in physical reality, save for the individual animals from which it is composed.
The most common description of the chimera comes from Homer's Iliad, in which the creature is said to have the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and tail of a snake.
It is also believed to breath fire and be female, despite the mane adorning the lions head.
The chimera was said to be incredibly vicious and powerful, especially since as one single creature, it possessed the abilities of three separate animals.
He is a Latin pop musician, famous for his song “Mambo No.
5”.
This song is a remake of the Perez Prado instrumental from 1952.
Bega added new lyrics to the song and sampled the original version extensively.
Bega had a multicultural upbringing as his mother is Sicilian and his father is from Uganda.
Bega spent time in Miami during his teenage years.
His father was a Lutheran minister, but Bjørnson rejected organized religion.
He married Karoline Reimers, a famous stage actress, and their son Bjørn also had great success as a stage actor, and appeared in a few early silent films.
Their daughter, Bergljot, married Henrik Ibsen's son Sigurd.
He attended grammar school, Heltbergs Studentfabrikk in Oslo, with Henrik Ibsen, but dropped out of a course at the University of Oslo.
By his early twenties he was writing literature reviews for the Norwegian newspaper, Morgenbladet.
At 25 he wrote his first produced play, Mellem Slagene (Between the Battles).
His Paul Lange og Tora Parsberg was a statement for political tolerance, and På Guds veie ("In God's Way") for religious tolerance.
He is best known internationally for his tales of peasant life in Norway.
His novel, Synnöve Solbakken, has been filmed three times.
Bjørnson also worked as a stage director, and later served as editor of another paper, Aftenbladet, where he wrote fiery liberal editorials and passionately defended Alfred Dreyfus.
His poem, "Yes, We Love This Land", is the Norwegian national anthem.

Copper is the color of the metal copper.
It is a purplish-orange color.
The first recorded use of copper as a color name in English was in 1594.
Meaning of copper
Like the colors gold and  silver, copper represents wealth because the metal copper is valuable, but less valuable than gold or silver.
The metal copper is of value mainly to use as electrical wiring because copper is the best conductor of electricity after silver.

Skandar Keynes, or ‘”Alexander Amin Caspar Keynes” is a British actor, born 5 September 1991.
He starred Edmund Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia.
He appeared in all three movies, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which was released on December 10, 2010.
Keynes was born in London.
He was the son of Zelfa Hourani and author Randal Keynes.
He has an older sister, Soumaya Keynes (born 1989), who also starred in many productions of the BBC Radio 4.
His grandparents by his mother’s side were Furugh Afnan and Cecil Fadlo Hourani.
Cecil Fadlo Hourani used to be an author and also advisor to Habib Bourguiba, the late Tunisian president.
Cecil Hourani was also the brother of Albert Hourani, a historian who studied about the Middle East.
The Hourani family were immigrants to England.
On his father’s side, Keynes is the grandson of Richard Keynes, the nephew of the Cambridge professor Simon Keynes, and the great-great-nephew of John Maynard Keynes, an economist.
His great-great-great-grandfather was the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, who invented the theory of evolution.
Keynes' great-grandparents were Edgar Adroam.
1st  Barpm Adoroam and Hester Adrian, Baroness Adrian, both receivers of the Nobel Prize.
Keynes had stated that he is an atheist.
Keynes attended the Anna Scher Theatre School from 2000 to 2005.
He went to the all-boys City of London School, and took his GCSEs in May and June 2008.
He studied biology, chemistry, maths, and history at A-level.
In October 2010 he began his degree in Arabic and Middle Eastern History at Pembroke College, Cambridge.
He is currently a movie critic, writing for The Citizen, the City of London School weekly school newspaper.
He is also a fan of English football club Arsenal.
He auditioned for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at the same time as he asked for the role of Simon Brown in Nanny McPhee, but lost the role to Thomas Sangster.
His voice got deeper when he was filming The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, so his sister Soumaya had to voice some of his lines.
Recently, he starred in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third installment of The Chronicles of Narnia movie series.
The filming began in July 2009, and finished in December of the same year.
The movie was released on 10 December 2010 in Britain and the US.

It is the seat of the Arrondissement of Fontainebleau.
The commune has the largest land area in the Île-de-France region.
It is the only one to cover a larger area than Paris itself.
Fontainebleau, together with the neighbouring commune of Avon, Seine-et-Marne and three other smaller communes, form an urban area of 36,713 people (according to the 1999 census).
Fontainebleau is known for the large and scenic Forest of Fontainebleau, a favourite weekend getaway for Parisians.
It is also known for the historical Palace of Fontainebleau, which once belonged to the kings of France.
Mudrocks make up most of the sedimentary rocks on Earth.
They are a class of fine grained siliciclastic sedimentary rocks.
The types of mudrocks include: siltstone, claystone, mudstone, slate, and shale.
Most of the particles are less than 0.0625 mm (1/16th mm or 0.0025 inches) and are too small to study readily in the field.
At first sight the rock types look quite similar; however, there are important differences in composition and naming.
There has been a great deal of disagreement about the classification of mudrocks.
There are some reasons for this:
Mudrocks are the least understood, and one of the most understudied sedimentary rocks to date
It is difficult to study mudrock constituents, due to their tiny size
And most importantly, there is more than one classification scheme accepted by scientists
Mudrocks make up half of the sedimentary rocks in the geologic record, and are easily the most widespread deposits on Earth.
Fine sediment is the most abundant product of erosion, which is why mudrocks are so common.
With increased pressure over time the platey clay minerals may become aligned, with the appearance of parallel layering (fissility).
This finely bedded material which splits readily into thin layers is called shale, as distinct from mudstone.
From the beginning of civilization, when pottery and mudbricks were made by hand, to now, mudrocks have been important.
The first book on mudrocks was not published until 1964.
However, scientists, engineers, and oil producers have understood the significance of mudrocks since the discovery of the Burgess Shale and the relatedness of mudrocks and oil.
A siltstone is a mudrock.
For a rock to be a siltstone, it must be over fifty percent silt-sized material.
Silt is any particle smaller than sand, 1/16th of a millimeter (~0.06 mm), and larger than clay, 1/256th (~0.004 mm) of millimeter.
Silt is the product of physical weathering, such as freezing and thawing.
Physical weathering does not involve any chemical changes in the rock, just its physical breaking apart.
One of the highest proportions of silt found on Earth is in the Himalayas, which get rainfall of up to five to ten meters (16 to 33 feet) a year.
Quartz and feldspar are the biggest contributors to silt.
Silt tends to be non-cohesive, non-plastic, but can liquefy easily.
There is a simple field test to judge whether a rock is a siltstone or not, and that is to put the rock to one's teeth.
If the rock feels "gritty" against one's teeth, than it is a siltstone.

Maria Mitchell (1818–1889) was one of the first female astronomers.
She attended a local girls school.
Later, Mitchell attended a school run by her father.
Mitchell opened her own school when she was 17.
Her school had many programs.
These programs allowed students to birdwatch.
They also allowed students to observe astronomy.
Mitchell’s love for astronomy started when her father began keeping a small observatory.
She began to observe space and notice things.
The accomplishment that made Mitchell famous was when she discovered a comet in October 1847.
The comet was later known as Miss Mitchell's comet, and is now called C/1847 T1.
She received a medal from the king of Denmark after discovering the comet.
Mitchell also helped make accurate calculations of time, latitude, and longitude.
Mitchell became the first woman elected to join the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the year after.
In 1850, she joined the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Afterward, she became professor of astronomy at Vassar College in 1865.
She stayed there until she retired in 1888.
Mitchell died one year later at age 71.
After Mitchell’s death, she was recognized as a great astronomer.
In 1905, she was elected into the Hall of Fame for Great Americans.
A mudstone is a siliciclastic sedimentary rock which has a mixture of silt- and clay-sized particles (at least 1/3 of each).
So, a mudstone is a type of mudrock with a more varied grain size than either siltstones or claystones.
Claystone
A claystone is a mudrock  which does not split easily.
Lego Mindstorms NXT is a robotic kit.
It is made to build and program first robot in 30 minutes.
The kit replaces a system called Robotics Invention System.
The available versions are: Lego Mindstorms NXT 1.0 (set #8527), Lego Mindstorm NXT 2.0 (set #8547) and Lego Mindstorms Education NXT (set #9797).
It comes with the NXT-G programming software.
It is possible to use unofficial programming languages, such as NXC, NBC, leJOS NXJ, and RobotC using software that is not included with the kit.
The main component in the kit is computer module that controls the robot's movements and actions called the NXT Intelligent Brick.
It has 32-bit microprocessor, four inputs, three outputs, Bluetooth communications, a speaker, 1 USB 2.0 port, and a 100×64 LCD display.
Also, the NXT includes three powerful servo motors with rotation sensors.
Very simple programs can be created in the menu on the NXT Intelligent Brick without a computer.
More complicated programs can be downloaded via Bluetooth or USB from the computer to the robot.
The graphical, drag-and-drop programming language NXT-G is simple, but complete enough to be usable.
The NXT comes with five types of sensors: Touch, Light, Sound, Ultrasonic, and Rotation.
The sound sensor is not included in the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit.
The touch sensor reacts to touch and release.
It can detect single or multiple button presses, and reports back to the NXT Intelligent Brick.
The Light Sensor enables the robot to decide what is light and what is dark and the light intensity, or hue, of different colors.
The Sound Sensor is able to measure noise levels in both dB (decibels) and dBA (frequencies around 3–6 kHz where the human ear is most sensitive)
The Ultrasonic Sensor is able to detect an object and measure distance in inches or centimeters.
The Rotation Sensor is built into every motor so position and speed are always available to NXT programs.
In the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 is new Colour sensor.
It can detects different colours and measure the amount of reflected light and ambient light.

You can also bring a car or other vehicle with you for more money.
The ferries operate along the coast of Alaska and also out to the Aleutian Islands.
They also run all the way down to Bellingham, Washington sometimes.
Yi Jianlian (born October 27, 1984 in Heshan, Guangdong) is an Chinese basketball player who currently plays for the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Yi began his professional career in China with the Tigers, and was chosen with the sixth pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
He played for the Bucks from 2007-08, the New Jersey Nets from 2008-10, and the Washington Wizards in 2010–11, after which he became a free agent.
Because the NBA's owners locked out the players at the start of the 2011–12 season, Yi returned to China to play with the Tigers.
Once the lockout ended, he returned to the U.S. and signed with the Dallas Mavericks.
He played two games with the Texas Legends of the D-League before joining the Mavericks for the rest of that season.
After the 2011–12 season, Yi once again returned to his original Chinese team.
Age dispute
Since he was drafted by the Bucks, his age has been the subject of controversy.
There is strong evidence that he was actually born in 1984 not in 1987 as first thought.
It is widely thought that Chinese officials lied about his age so that he could play for more years in tournaments for younger players (under 19, or under 21).
One Chinese basketball official admitted in 2006 that past Chinese junior teams included over-age players, and an American who played with Yi in China has said that players' ages were often changed.
Yi has never commented on his age.
In 2007 and 2008, Yi's date of birth was further scrutinized as being 27 October 1984, including a Chinese reporter discovering a high school enrollment form from 1997 that listed Yi as being born on 27 October 1984.

Lactose intolerance is when a person cannot digest milk or milk products (such as cheese or yogurt).
All mammals start off on mother's milk, and almost all change to a non-milk diet, a process we call weaning.
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar (double sugar molecule).
To be digested it must be split (digested) into two simple sugars (monosaccharides), glucose and galactose.
An enzyme called lactase is needed to break it down.
People with lactose intolerance do not have this enzyme or make only small quantities.
Because of this they are unable to digest lactose.
Up to 75% of people worldwide begin to lose the ability to digest lactose as they grow into adults.
This loss of ability ranges from 5% in northern Europe, to over 71% in Sicily and to over 90% in parts of Africa and Asia.
There is no cure for lactose intolerance.
Those people need to change their diet to eat and drink substances with very little lactose.
There are many milk substitutes.
Milk is not a fermented product.
If is not digested, then it may ferment in the small intestine which can cause a problem called pseudoallergy.
Amino acids are changed to other substances, which may act in much the same way as histamine in a true allergy.
Normally infant mammals drink their mother's milk.
Then the gene which causes the body to make lactase is switched off, and the young move on to adult food.
They can no longer digest milk.
Humans are somewhat different from other mammals.
It is a type of genetic polymorphism.
The ability to digest lactose into adulthood ('lactase persistence') was useful to humans after the invention of animal husbandry.
People kept animals which could provide milk.
Hunter-gatherer people before the Neolithic revolution were mostly lactose intolerant.
Many modern populations are lactose-intolerant, but European populations are tolerant.
That may be because milk has long been in the European diet, and so people who can take milk products have a wider potential diet.
Hence in hard times they will survive better.
A mutation on chromosome 2 stops the shutdown in lactase production.
This makes it possible for those with the mutation to continue drinking fresh milk (and eating other dairy products) throughout their lives.
This appears to be a recent adaptation to dairy products.
It occurred in both northern Europe and east Africa in people with a historically pastoral lifestyle.
Genetic studies suggest that the oldest mutations associated with lactase persistence have only become common in human populations in the last 10,000 years.
Because of this, lactase persistence is often given as an example of recent human evolution.
A Unix shell, also called terminal or console, is a program that accepts Unix commands from the keyboard and executes them.
These commands can be installed programs, for example:
ls to list files
cp to copy files
man to get more information on commands
The commands do not need to come from the keyboard.
They will, generally speaking, come from stdin.
A Unix shell is a command line interface made especially for the control of a Unix system.
There are different Unix shells, most notably bash, sh, C Shell and zsh.
Their syntax is similar, for example the following dialog to find out your CPU type would be possible with all of them:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep --max-count=1 "model name"
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         860  @ 2.80GHz

In particle physics, the electroweak interaction or electroweak force is the description of two of the four known fundamental interactions of nature which are electromagnetism and the weak interaction.
Though different, the theory models show them as two different parts of the same force.
It proves that if the universe is hot enough, then the electromagnetic force and weak force merge into a combined electroweak force.
Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam, and Steven Weinberg were awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for their works to the unification of the weak and electromagnetic interaction.

Sterile neutrinos, also known as neutral heavy leptons, heavy neutrinos, or right-handed neutrinos, are theoretical particles that are extremely difficult to find.
This is because they are not affected by all of fundamental forces that rule normal physics, only gravity.
They are detected by a theory called the seesaw mechanism which says that when sterile neutrinos are near other neutrinos (tiny particles which are not affected by much), they increase their own mass by lowering the mass of the nearby neutrinos.
Detection probably comes from the fact that they are affected by gravity.
Think of it as a particle that absorbs the energy of other particles of the same family type.
Once one is near another of its family, it raises its mass by lowering (absorbing) another's overall mass.
