text: For the case of neutrinos this theory has gained popularity as it can be used, in combination with the seesaw mechanism, to explain why neutrino masses are so small compared to those of the other elementary particles, such as electrons or quarks.
text: Although only differences of squares of the three mass values are known as of 2016, experiments have shown that these masses are tiny in magnitude.
text: They know that the masses of the three neutrinos are small.
text: It is impressive that already in 1958 Pontecorvo believed that neutrinos have small masses and oscillate.
text: But neutrinos have charge zero, and the masses of the electron and muon neutrinos are known to be very small and cannot be directly measured at all.
text: The mass of this particle is very small but not zero.
text: The mass of electrons is small when compared to that of nuclei and negatively charged.
text: Neutrino masses are so tiny that direct measurement in the near future will be very difficult.
text: but it could be that neutrinos get their tiny masses through an entirely different mechanism.
