I say a neutrino does not have a rest mass. It is a photon, like a very high energy gamma ray photon. I have seen photos of a neutrino collision in a neutrino trap. From the look of all the resulting ionization tracks, it must have had a lot more energy than 40 ev. I say the energy of neutrinos is in the range of 300 mev!

Neutrinos have been measured with a positive rest mass, of around 40ev for the electron neutrino IIRC, and higher values for the muon and tauon neutrinos. I have never heard of either tardyon or luxon before either, but have heard of tachyon, or faster than light particle. Clearly tardyon is therefore slower than light, and luxon is at light speed. Luxons therefore have zero rest mass, and tachyons have imaginary (ie proportional to sqrt(-1)) rest mass.
