0:06:54 > 0:06:56They have half the charge, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59They have half the charge. No, it's their mass.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00And finally, unlike other forces,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05the weak force can violate the conservation of a property of particles called flavour,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07allowing one type of neutrino to transform into another.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11It can also transform a down quark into an up quark
