10
The Solar Problem Early predictions of solar neutrinos Attempts at detection Results Rationalization of findings Rectification of the problem http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0106/20sno/
11
Neutrino Oscillation Neutrinos can oscillate Random probability of measuring a neutrino as one of the three flavors
12
Practicality of Neutrinos Unlike EM waves, neutrinos are virtually unaffected by stellar medium Stellar studies Galactic Studies Quantum Studies
