The physics anomaly no one talks about: What's up with those neutrinos?

20 years ago the LSND experiment at Los Alamos detected a strange anomaly in neutrino oscillations. In 2018 the Fermilab experiment MiniBooNE that was checking on this observation saw it too. The anomaly is above the discovery threshold. What does this mean for the standard model of particle physics?
Correction to what I say at 1 mins 55 seconds: "lepton" should have been "charged lepton" (in both instances).
Correction to what I say at 3 mins 33 seconds: It was the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2015 (as you see on the screenshot) not (as I mistakenly said) in 2011.

    And instead of immediately focusing on this groundbreaking discovery the experimenters John Bahcall and Ray Davis were somewhat under a cloud for the next thirty years with a general suspicion that they'd messed up in some way. Bahcall was then completely snubbed when Davis was awarded the Nobel prize.

Why do you think I 'chose' to use such? Have you never typed a grammatical error without realising it? What I am amazed at is that anyone should bother picking it up as an issue. Astonishing! I admit that I come from the school of thought which suggests that language is for communication and that providing the meaning of that communication has been achieved, the task was successful. Since I have every reason to believe that Sabine understood the essence of what I wanted to express, I am satified that the communication was a success. Ergo, who the hell cares?

    I really enjoy your videos. Your choice of content and presentation of it are "sticky". Being seriously attention-deficit heavy ADHD (clinically diagnosed at 54), I'm like a dog chasing squirrels all day in an open field while on KZread - I've only got 1 set of jaws and there are just too many to catch and chew properly before dropping it for the next. Watching your stuff is like taking a detour through heavy underbrush. I come away from it without a squirrel in my jaws and instead covered in burrs. I COULD still run around the field but if I don't sit down and tease them out of my fur right away, they're going to become more and more irritating until I do. It's a weird-ass analogy, but apt. and the best I could put together without coming off as a gushing sapiophile. Happy Birthday Sabine :-)

    @Clay Carter No worries. Better to know than not. I've been asked this before so I've cut and pasted much of the answer I gave then. It's really long, but it's a big question. I apologize for the length, but it's pretty comprehensive. Hopefully it'll be helpful for you. I live in Canada and am fortunate to have access to an excellent universal health care system. I also come from a generation that did, and to a large extent still does, heavily stigmatize ADHD. Despite it being the oldest and most described disorder in the literature, I, like many, believed it was just a bullshit diagnosis pasted on kids that the system was unable to deal with. I was especially irked when my daughter got pegged with it. The thing is, she's frighteningly brilliant. But she knew at 8 years old that she had something "wrong" with her that was causing her difficulties outside of the norm in school. She tried to tell us. We didn't believe her. No parent wants to believe that their precious child isn't "perfect". When she was 14, she started cutting herself. Alarmed, we took her in and she was assessed with clinical depression and ADHD. They started her on Dexidrine and fluoexitine (Prozac). 20 now, she thankfully is off of the latter and only sporadically takes the former as needed. My own diagnosis came about in the middle of my life exploding. I'd had a pulmonary aneurism (coughing up blood) that was tied to my high stress but highly successful career path. It landed me in hospital for 11 days and fuckin' near killed me. I decided to dial it back and do much less mentally/physically demanding, but equally lucrative work that I thought should have been a cakewalk. Flash forward 3 years. We were losing our home because I had just lost my third "cakewalk" job in a row. What I'd failed to understand was that they all required a high degree of organization to be successful. If you are ADHD, you'll understand that inability in this area is a hallmark of the disorder. I thought instead that I was suffering cognitive decline. I went to see my Dr. who is 20 years my junior and a Namibian ex-pat with no bias either way regarding ADHD. He asked me about those jobs I was most successful at and the ones I had just been fired from. He immediately drilled in on the fact that the ones I had thrived in were extremely mentally stimulating and required a quick climb up a steep learning curve with sharply creative climbing axe as opposed to the latter which paid more but were routine and required organization. He gave me a questionnaire. There were 9 questions on it. I was heavily biased in one direction on 7 of them. After looking at it, and knowing my attitude towards the disorder, he said "Your daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD. Where in the fuck do you think she got that from?" He then informed me that it's about 75 to 80% inheritable and told me to go home and research the disorder thoroughly. After I was done that I was to try one of my daughter's Dexedrine. He told me that it would either work immediately to organize my thoughts and wrap my head around my current situation, or I would just feel a little more energetic. Either way, I'd know. I did exactly as directed. When the Dexi kicked in I got that thousand mile stare you get only when you understand what ADHD looks like in adults and realize that it explains your entire life to that moment. The meds typically used to treat the disorder are incredibly effective. They're also typically amphetamines. Dexedrine is in the same family as Methedrine (Meth) and Benzedrine (Benny's) . This make them more controlled than plutonium. I shit you not. But I can understand it. If you're truly ADHD, you don't like them and will figure out work arounds to minimize having to take them at all. But if you're misdiagnosed, they can (apparently) be problematically and potentially (heart-stoppingly) psychologically addictive. While my GP initially diagnosed me with the disorder, I was still required to do 3 sessions across 3 months with a Psychiatrist to determine that he was correct. Unlike Psychologists, they're specialist MDs capable of assessing med regimes. There's a really good channel on KZread called "How to ADHD" Jessica, the creator, is amazing. There's a big community and a shit-ton of really good info there for you to follow up with. Again, I hope this was helpful. Good luck.

    I recall hearing about nutrinos in the late 90s on the sci-fi serried Star Trek DS9. There was an episode when one of the characters was telling the space station’s doctor and the chief engineer he was getting married in the spring (spring in a space station?) and the chief engineer says “Ahhh the springtime. When the nutrinos are in bloom.” I’m glad real science is making advances in the discovery of real nutrinos.

It would be fascinating to hear your thoughts on Ettore Majorana during that amazing and dangerous revolution in physics that changed our world. The Italian government closed the case of his disappearance based on a claim he was last seen in Venezuela. But the report never mentioned his eyes or explained how a son of Catania, Sicily could have the Roman accent of the person described. And most importantly… buon compleanno bellissima professoressa !
