What reason is given for the diferent rates? Does the oscillation attenuate? If not, where does the energy come from to sustain the oscillation?

Everything "oscillates". It has to do with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Smaller less massive particles are just more noticeable. So if the neutrinos had different masses then they would oscillate at different frequencies. You might also find DeBroglie wavelength interesting.
I also wonder why everyone else always quotes a website. Doesn't anyone know anything themselves?

The term "oscillation" is used to describe how neutrinos of one type change into another type, and then change back again. So a neutrino is not just of one type; if you wait long enough it will change into one of the other types.
I know that seems pretty weird, and I don't understand just why it happens myself. The reason does have to do with the three types having different masses; beyond that, you'd need to take a class in quantum mechanics to get a full understanding.
As far as the energy goes, the oscillations do not consume energy.

well Neutrinos move in a vortex pattern this is new to physics like the pentaquark they do oscillate but like the earth in diffrent time zones of there own time

Agree. it extremely is suggested right here that for the duration of ODIs those legends scored much less centuries even with the very incontrovertible fact that: a million)There are buddies and buddies who are not as good. They does not play try Cricket yet does play ODI cricket. mutually with those centuries, however the commonplace accepted is way less. This needless to say shows that against an analogous opponent, it extremely is extra straightforward in try for high quality batsmen. 2) to boot to that for the duration of final 30 years(considering the fact that inception of one days) lot of batsman have scored double and triple centuries (and as quickly as 4 hundred too) in exams, yet purely two times double century has been scored in a single days. *And the two those double hundreds have been from Indians.

They would if they existed. to prove it ,we need to catch one.
presently the lab in their experiment have postulated 110 different imaginary neutrinos and no one has caught one yet.
