Its pure tinfoil bs.

Regarding the "missing neutrino" data. They solved that. Mathematically they determined there are 3 types of neutrinos. Factoring that in, everything comes out correctly.

"Mathematical determination" itself is tinfoil-hattery--until verified by experiment.

Out of curiosity, did they ever experimentally prove the existence of all three types, or is this just a mathematical construct? Understand, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I hate to see untested equations masqueraded as solutions to difficult scientific problems.

Invented another particle to make the theory work huh? hahahaha, particle physics is fun!

Actually, the existence of different neutrino "flavors" was an experimental discovery, back in 1962. Schwartz, Steinberger and Lederman received the 1988 Nobel Prize for it.

As for the missing solar neutrinos, that problem was solved in the last few years by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. As expected, the answer was that the electron-type neutrinos coming out of the sun oscillate into muon- and tau-type neutrinos. Previous solar neutrino detectors were only sensitive to electron-type neutrinos, whereas SNO can detect all three.

The 'solution' above is known in the scientific community as a Theory. A Theory can fit the math, and be totally wrong.

Just ask the world's smartest quadriplegic.
