Tritium experiments measure the "effective mass" squared of nu_e, defined as the weighted average defined by a formula given above by Orodruin, so it makes no difference as to whether or not they are degenerate. It's not like some tritium events record m_1, others m_2, etc. Based on KATRIN...

I am not a theorist, so I cannot say with any authority that they have or have not been. As I noted in the paper Lorentz invariance is a long-standing problem, and various theorists have found ways to modify it so as to describe effective Lagrangians for tachyons. You should look at a recent...

What you say is true, but the problem is that for the smallest energy neutrino that can be detected (around 0.3 MeV) the speed is so close to c that no Earthly experiment could hope to detect the difference. That is why I say measuring their mass is a much more sensitive test

With respect to the next supernova you do not need to know when it "went off." As I discuss in my paper there is research done by supernova modellers which indicates strongly that there should be millisecond time scale oscillations in the neutrino output. (Imagine a rapid in/out oscillation in...

Regarding my tachyon paper which HAS BEEN accepted by Astroparticle Physics, there are too many misconceptions, false statements and ad hominem arguments made about it here to reply to them. I certainly have not claimed that I have definitively proven the electron neutrino is a tachyon, only...
