1) cannot explain how the Sun is stable.

2) detect only one-third the number of neutrinos expected by theory.

3) cannot detect neutrinos easily.

4) are unable to explain how neutrinos oscillate between other types.

5) cannot create controlled fusion reactions on Earth.Further experiments have shown that solar neutrinos can change into other types that were not initially detected.
