The laws of physics may permit a neutrino with a mass to change from one type into another, so electron neutrinos may simply transform themselves into undetectable muon or tau neutrinos before they fly across the 150 million kilometres of space between the Sun and the Earth.

For example, electron neutrinos born in the sun morph into other flavors before they reach Earth, so that fewer electron neutrinos arrive than would otherwise be expected.

Near the end of Professor Davis» life, a large team of researchers (~ 178 coauthors) reported that solar electron neutrinos oscillate away before they reach our detectors.
