"(this means that they do interact with ordinary matter though electromagnetic interaction either). They also don't interact through strong nuclear interaction, but only through weak nuclear interaction."

I think that first sentence is garbled. Can anybody straighten this out?

I made some comments there that I hope some of the editors of this page can respond to and help impliment. Thanks - Taxman 22:51, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Neutrino Oscillation" redirects to here

Why? There are many other evidences of oscillation, and some of them actually NEED flavour oscillation (brief example: K2K results).

[edit] ACC

Didn't Clark write an SF novel, where the plot starts by mankind getting to understand the solar neutrino problem means our Sun will blow up in 1000years, so countries start to send Noah's spacearks?

Yep. Songs of Distant Earth. Nik42 00:35, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I think the Solar neutrino problem occurs because earth is actually flat

If you consider earth a round object, then you have the solar neutrino problem. If you consider earth as a flat object, having its poles connected eatchother through a superstring black wave and at the same time spherical hole , then the solar neutrino problem sudently disapears!

oh yes, of course! (wtf?!?!) Ezkerraldean

[edit] Inacrute information

"The sun is a natural nuclear fusion reactor, fusing hydrogen to helium. Our current understanding of physics is quite clear about what happens: four hydrogen nuclei (protons), with and without the help of catalysts, are transformed into helium, neutrinos, and energy" It doesn't fuse hydrogen to helium it converts Hydrogen to helium. What gets fused is two differn'ts hydrogen ions and when it gets fused it becomes helium. But I'am sure which can someone correct it or make sure I'am right.--Scott3 21:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, is that not the same as fusing Hydrogen to Helium? It fuses the Hydrogens, which by that process is converted to Helium. Correct? Yami Cassie 07:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capital Letters

"The sun is a natural nuclear fusion reactor" "sun's outer layers"

Because this article refers to the Sun in an astronomical context, the Sun is a proper noun and should therefore have a capital letter. Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style

[edit] Problem Box

I have rewritten the Problem box to give a much clearer summary of the problem and its solution. CaptinJohn 10:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What?

"It produced observations consistent with muon-neutrinos (produced in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays) changing into tau-neutrinos. Actually all that was proved was that fewer neutrinos were detected coming through the Earth than could be detected coming directly above the detector. Not only that, their observations only concerned muon neutrinos coming from the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere."

What's going on there? Looks like someone is having an inline argument with a previous editor. It's a pretty crucial paragraph and it makes no sense.

[edit] More information

Can someone add in more citations about the nuclear resonance problem. I don't doubt that this is a real problem, but I'd really like some one to flesh out that part of the article.
