8->''"This guy -- a physicist -- turns to the other physicist and without any shame or compunction says, 'The neutrinos have mutated'. Now, for the non-nerds here, neutrinos are tiny sub-atomic, really almost massless particles that are released in nuclear breakdown, like in the sun for example. Five hundred trillion of them pass through your body every second. They can't mutate. Their structure is fundamental to the structure of the universe. They can't just ''change''. They might as well have gone, 'The electrons are angry'. Or, 'The light from the sun... ''(sniff)'', it's gone off.' That's how fucking ludicrous it is."''
