A closer look

Trillions of tiny subatomic particles called neutrinos pass through your body every single second without you ever noticing, originating mostly from the nuclear reactions happening inside the sun. These ghost particles have nearly zero mass and rarely interact with normal matter, meaning they fly through the Earth as if it were entirely empty space. While you sit there stressing about your electric bill, an unrelenting cosmic radiation shower is blasting through your skull at near light-speed. Physicists build massive underground tanks filled with ultra-pure water just to catch a glimpse of maybe one or two of them colliding with an atom. It is the ultimate flex of the cosmos to bombard us with infinite particles that absolutely refuse to acknowledge our existence
