  d. Neutron stars are believed to be the explanation for pulsars.
  e. The formation of neutron stars is a process known to absorb neutrinos.

Question 2

Joseph Weber is best known for

Answer to Question 1

e.
This statement is not true. Neutron stars are not necessarily known to absorb neutrinos, the light, non-charged particles produced in some nuclear reactions. Instead, they are known to emit neutrinos as electrons and protons fuse to form neutrons and an electron neutrino.

Answer to Question 2

a. Weber first claimed to detect gravitational waves in 1968, but his experiment was not confirmed.
