flavour puzzle

Why is it interesting?

Layman

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Student

In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.

Researcher

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.

no significant progress has ever been made in computing quark and lepton masses and mixing angles or understanding the dynamical origin of their pattern. […] Given our failure in cracking the flavour problem, it is unlikely that its solution is simple and that it manifests itself in simple ways. Only crazy results in flavour physics have a chance to be true.
