Little bastards swan around for FIFTY FUCKING YEARS pretending to be totally massless but, oh no, the hussies were hiding little pot bellies. Less than an electron volt between the three of them but oh, that's enough. Enough for them to change flavour between the Sun and the Earth. Filthy liars. FILTHY TRANSGENDER FUCKING LIARS. And suddenly the Standard Model's dead, isn't it? Little fucking bastards. Fucking shitty bints. And now we find that there are probably STERILE FUCKING NEUTRINOS polluting everything! Fucking shitty massive sterile neutrinos. CUNTS. At least one species of them. Perhaps more. FUCKING SHITTY CUNTS.
And now. Oh, NOW! Breaking the speed limit, are they? While being fucking massive?
WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

and has yet to complete peer review. Probably just some factor they didn't take into account during the experiment that buggered up readings.

The stuff about sterile neutrinos is still only suggestive, too. The rest of it's true -- neutrinos have a small, but non-zero mass (or, at least, the sum of the masses of the three types of neutrino is non-zero so *at least one type of neutrino* has a mass), and that fucks up the standard model right away. This is a good thing because it means we may all still be employed in twenty years time. Well, those of us who are physicists, anyway.

you can pretend you believed in string theory all along.

I'd be more convinced of someone finding a way of showing it from standard QM field theory. There's actually no requirement for a massless quantum particle to travel at the speed of light - that's a classical notion. (And there isn't even the requirement in general relativity for massless particles to travel at the speed of light except over very small distances, but that's getting very fiddly pedantic.) Of course, doing that might be a lot trickier. Me, I just work in classical physics at the minute so I'll leave that to everyone else :)

don't give a shit
it's like "LOL RULES"
"LOL, CALL THAT A MASS"
and they just stick their fingers up and are all BLBMLMGLGMLGMLG!!
I bet they get pissed up and do freaky orbits around themselves just because it's mental

Billions at a time. No idea at all. And Chuck Norris can't catch them.
