    Maybe it isn’t changing mass at all, and what’s changing is just the probability distribution resulting from a hypothetical flavor measurement. If we could measure the mass (collap…

    Not a physicist, but here are a couple Wikipedia excerpts I found: From page “Conservation of mass”: “In general, mass is not conserved. The conservation of mass is a law that hold…

    The contest has a cash prize. Why did you put the university name in quotes?
