Neutrinos have mass. This has been known since it was discovered that the neutrinos from the sun change "flavor". This solved the missing neutrino problem.

Do you have to wait 24 hrs before filing a missing neutron mass report?

I liked the old Super-K better. (Vol. 1)

What a great time to be an undergrad studying physics!

Better to have studied a century ago. In 1904, before relativity, QM, nuclear physics and the big bang, at least you felt that you had a good grasp of things.

A rather hyperbolic headline, considering this statement:

The Super-K group first reported that neutrinos oscillated in 1998.

'Ey! If you'd been listening, you'd know that nintendos pass through everything.

Everything.

Um, OK, but, then ... what is the mass of a neutrino?

Can't tell. The oscillation measurement is only sensitive to the differences between the squares of the masses of the neutrino flavors.

Curious headline since the solar neutrino missing mass problem was solved a while back. They already knew neutrinos have mass. I am a bit puzzled by this "revelation".

Indeed! :-)

Then you see pictures of them on the sides of milk cartons.

So that's what those little tiny dots are.

You win. My head exploded after reading that.

Not only so, but they apparently have different "flavors." While you're burning your books you might as well have a little barbeque.

I don't write the headlines. All I do is post the stuff, and then wait for you to explain it to us.

"Super-Kamiokande collaboration" does sound like a Nintendo game...

New SG-1 tonight, as you probably know given your handle.

That's is the problem with those in science that have derision towards those of religion. They always have, currently are, and always will be adjusting their idea of the big picture. It will never come into focus until they focus on the creator.
