   And do you think the right-handed part will still not be interacting?   
      
   What does that mean for neutrinos standing still? Or more precisely,   
   neutrino fields at energies much lower than their mass? Is there a kind   
   of 'electroweak-static' theory, like we have classical electrostatics   
   for QED with the electrons at much lower energy than their mass?
