Here are some neat neutrino facts:

  • Neutrinos are incredibly difficult to detect.
  • There are many neutrino sources, although supernovae may be the most prevalent with 99% of energy released as neutrinos vs 1% as visible light.
  • Our sun radiates about 2% of its energy as neutrinos.
  • They travel at the speed of light and rarely interact with normal matter. So rarely, in fact, that 99.99% of neutrinos would pass through a 10km-thick slab of lead.
  • Most neutrinos pass through the entire earth without hitting a thing.
  • 10^21^ nuetrinos pass through each 1" x 1" area of your body per second and, on average, you have a 25% lifetime chance of interaction with a neutrino particle.

Who knows what will be discovered!
