The mystery deepens… neutrinos can shift from muon neutrinos to tau neutrinos (or change form)…

Slashdot Science Story | Chameleon-Like Behavior of Neutrino Confirmed: “While closing a chapter on understanding the nature of neutrinos, the observation of neutrino oscillations is strong evidence for new physics. The Standard Model of fundamental particles posits no mass for the neutrino. For them to be able to oscillate, however, they must have mass.”

We’re depending on you all to help us figure this out!
