   From what I found at Wikipedia the flavor change between e n and t   
   is evenly distributed in time.  This would mean the neutrino will   
   be a tauon neutrino for 1/3 of it's time. Knowing the energy source   
   of the neutrino should set a limit on the neutrino velocity. It's   
   velocity is almost c. Almost c seems unlikely yet my standard model   
   says 18 MeV. 18 meV would be nice but it says 18 MeV. In my mind   
   18 MeV for an average of 6 to 7 MeV mass is too high for a velocity   
   that is so close to c that it is hard to measure. It will be   
   interesting to see how the neutrino mystery unfolds as more experiments   
   are done.   
      
   [[Mod. note -- As others have noted, neutrino masses are probably   
   around 1 eV or (much) less -- MeV values are ruled out.
