Estimate of neutrino masses from the values of $\Delta m_{21}^2$ and $\Delta m_{13}^2$ only!
The blog here says that
The measured mass differences between the eigenstates are $\Delta m_{21}^2=7.5\times 10^{-5} {\rm eV}^2$ and $\Delta m_{13}^2=2.5\times 10^{-3} {\rm eV}^2$, suggesting that ...

Sterile (4th) neutrino and cosmological bound
Recent results by MicroBoone seems to give support to old LSND experiment in favor of a fourth neutrino (sterile). How does it fit with the current cosmological bound for neutrinos?

Why do neutrino oscillations imply nonzero neutrino masses?
Neutrinos can pass from one family to another (that is, change in flavor) in a process known as neutrino oscillation. The oscillation between the different families occurs randomly, and the likelihood ...
