Недавно было проведено наблюдение такого интересного явления, как нейтринные осцилляции.

Imagine a highway. All the north-bound cars are WHITE Toyota Camrys, and all the south-bound cars are BLACK Toyota Camrys. All the cars are moving very very very fast. At a certain point in the road, workers open gates that cause the two streams of traffic to plow into each other, head on. At the crash site, common sense would tell you that pieces of Toyota Camrys would come flying out, but instead, complete vehicles of other makes and models (Honda Civics and Nissan Sentras, many others, including vehicles larger than two Camrys, like Peterbilt 18-wheelers) appear instead. After a few seconds, some of these vehicles break apart, and become other vehicles, say a Peterbilt breaks apart and becomes a Ford F-150 and two Harley Davidson motorcycles. Particle physicists make a living by crashing different streams of vehicles into each other and observing the new vehicles that come out. They've put together a list of these, like "Peterbuilt --> Ford F-150 + 2(Harley Davidson Motorcycles)". They call this list the Standard Model. This new experiment shows that sometimes, after a while, one of the Harleys suddenly changes models, say from a Fat Boy to an Electra Glide.

Hope this helps.
