They now know it's because two-thirds of them change into close relatives, the muon and the tau. Interesting numbers - three varieties of neutrino, and equal numbers of each variety arrive here. Perhaps they are in some kind of random quantum state until observed? The articles, at Cosmiverse, BBC, Unisci and AlphaGalileo, don't mention any explanation of what causes the neutrinos to change... This also means that the Universe just got heavier
