This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Erm, actually, neutrinos aren't massless. The Super-Kamiokande experiment has observed neutrinos to oscillate between electron-muon-tau lepton family numbers (or flavors), which means that they experience time and necessarily travel slower than the speed of light, which implies that they have a nonzero rest mass. This discovery changed the Standard Model and resulted in a Nobel prize.
