@InertialObservr Why do neutrinos oscillate? Is it because the wave phase changes as it travels through space? Can you make me a pretty picture?
It’s because the flavor eigenstates are superpositions of the mass eigenstates. For example, a ‘tau’ neutrino is a superposition of states with 3 different masses.

Actually I was watching PBS. I watch a lot of physics and try to understand as much as I can, and when I don’t, I ask questions. (I ask a lot of questions)
