This is unlikely to be a long thread, but anything that affects the Standard Model is probably important.

I skimmed the headline, saw the "Bostob" dateline, and saw the "Super-K" term in the article, and figured it was a "Physicists for Kerry" press release..

Neutrinos have mass?

I'm burning my books.

“These findings show that the Standard Model needs to be modified

To the Deluxe Model?

If the neutrino has mass, that would explain why 2/3 seem to be missing in some of the experiments. (I'll go give "Herr Auge" a pat on the way out today.)

I have been telling these people this for years!

Tau-Neutrino BUMP!

Good. I always thought it was bogus. Too complicated; the truth has to be simple. I'm betting within our lifetimes electromagnetism will be shown to be the same thing as gravity.

The findings...give the most precise measurement yet of neutrino mass....In addition, the recent analysis finds that the location of the dip in the oscillatory pattern shows the mass difference between the neutrinos. It is the most precise measurement yet of that difference in mass....

It would be nice if the press release writer could have put some number to these "precise" measurements. It is my understanding that prior work has set a very low value for any possible neutrino mass. Also, IIUC, any mass attributed to neutrinos cannot contribute appreciably to the "dark" matter deficit.

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

. This discovery shows that it is likely that the Standard Model, proposed in the 1970s to describe the fundamental forces and particles that make up all matter, is incomplete.

HAH! Changing the goal posts again, EH evil scientists?!?! Did you ever stop to wonder, that maybe, just MAYBE, if you weren't such heathen sinning swine, that the real souce of all forces and particles would be obvious?!?!

ALL the way down, fools!

Big changes are coming. Yesterday it was that the galaxies near the beginning were already too mature for the time they had to evolve. What a great time to be an undergrad studying physics!

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.

Well, gee, I never would have guessed that.
