It has no electric charge or mass of its own. It travels at the speed of light, can penetrate matter equal to 100 million miles of lead without being stopped. Billions of neutrinos bombard each square centimeter of the earth's surface every second; but every one of them eluded scientists until 1956. Then physicists detected the first neutrinos in the debris from man-made nuclear reactions. But scientists still could...
