    Neutrinos Can Pass Through Light-Years of Lead Unimpeded

    Neutrinos are subatomic particles with almost no mass and no electrical charge, making them incredibly elusive. Trillions pass through your body every second, interacting so rarely that a light-year thick wall of lead would only stop about half of them.
