The number of kaon to pion and neutrino/antineutrino decays the team observed is higher than the 8.4 per 100 billion predicted by the Standard Model, but it's still within the uncertainty parameters.

So then how the fuck does that hint at new physics? Idiots.

They demonstrated the event to five sigma certainty, which is significant, but it's within the uncertainty in the standard model. If they can demonstrate the same or similar things to greater exactness, it could guide research that changes the standard model

You're just repeating the article. Nothing you said contradicts what I said.

Oh, I thought you were legitimately confused. Not going to spend the energy on a troll

Maybe a pleasant discussion starting from common ground, rather than this endless contrarian hell
