“Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor. The probability of measuring a particular flavor for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates. Neutrino oscillation is of theoretical and experimental interest as observation of the phenomenon implies that the neutrino has a non-zero mass, which is not part of the original Standard Model of particle physics.”

Plain as the nose on your face. Do you claim to understand this better than I do? ( I don’t claim to understand it very well, but I do understand the basic QM oscillation paradigm. )

Well, it’s “obscurum per obscurius”. This is in Foreign Words and Phrases in Webster’s Ninth Collegiate. I was quoting from memory, and I did recall the exact english paraphrase. Woof!
