Do you realise that what you are claiming is pretty unconventional?
No. I am giving you the conventional view, which you do not understand.
I do not wish to appeal to authority, but since we are now arguing in terms of what is the conventional view, perhaps I can legitimately mention that I have a PhD in experimental particle physics. True, I'm not a theorist, but I do feel I have a reasonable grounding in these matters.
In the highly unlikely case of any such asymmetry being confirmed,
Which part of "CP symmetry is broken" is unclear to you? If antineutrinos and neutrinos have different masses, that breaks C symmetry and its discoverer will certainly get a trip to Stockholm. But this is not required for the argument I gave above to be correct. The breaking of CP symmetry is already known, and has been known since the sixties. It has exactly the same consequences as if neutrino and antineutrino masses are different, it's just a bit more difficult to visualise.
I don't really see why you don't seem to understand what I am saying - and this message doesn't really help very much. Why do you think that I think that CP symmetry is not broken. What have I said that would lead you to that conclusion?
In an attempt to clarify, C P and T all need to fllp sign for proper reverse evolution to occur. From your above messages, it seems as though you doubt that - in which case you should probably say so clearly at this point. My messages just assume that the reader thinks that that is true.
The main issue is not whether tha...

Hey guys, my quantum physics is not powerful enough to understand this guy... Can anyone help me out with this one?
Thanks LW
