If the weak force is meant to go about changing the flavours of fundamental particles, then what exactly is the point of the neutral Z boson?

You know damn well what I mean.

Frank N - yes. You demonstrate your point admirably.

Just because we don't know what something does doesn't mean it has no purpose. We haven't yet found anything pointless in the universe, except for a lot of questions and answers in Yahoo Answers.

The Weak Force isn't "meant" to do anything; it does what it does.
The Z particle can change the spin and momentum of the interacting particles.
