I would like to congratulate Prof. Kajita and Prof. McDonald on receiving the 
Nobel Prize.

Though neutrino oscillations are experimentally-verified facts, I wonder if 
neutrinos really have masses.

If neutrinos have masses, undetectable low-speed neutrinos are to be traveling 
in the space.  According to the theory of special relativity, low-speed 
neutrinos are to oscillate vertiginously.

The way of describing behavior of a neutrino as a mixture of wave packets with 
different masses is kind of weird.  With this model, as masses of neutrinos 
(if any) are so tiny, oscillation frequencies of low-speed neutrinos should be 
so low as to contradict the above relativistic consequence.

Besides, it is also experimentally verified that detected neutrinos travel at 
almost exactly the speed of light.

Then, I assume that neutrinos do not have masses, and that neutrino oscillations 
are phenomena similar to rotation of the plane of circularly-polarized light.

Am I wrong?
