"Neutrinos are Cosmic ghosts interacting with matter so irregularly that trillions of them are streaming through your body this very moment."
"The IceCube Neutrino Observatory: detecting subatomic particles thousands of feet below the surface."
"For example, in the time it took me to say that, something like 100 trillion neutrinos passed through your body."
"Neutrinos change their identity. Neutrinos have mass after all."
"Neutrinos may hold all the answers."
"one of the first things that people thought when uh neutrinos were detected was what a great way it would be for aliens to communicate with us"
"The neutrino is the closest thing to nothing we can imagine. It has zero size, zero charge, mass very close to zero, and it interacts so weakly with everything. But somehow or other, the neutrino isn't nothing. It might be the key to the universe."
"Neutrinos convey a message. They're ambassadors. They tell us something about the object from which they come to us. This object must be something in which incredibly high energy is released many times higher than that in the sun."
"By studying neutrinos, scientists can learn about cosmic events billions of light years away and even the fundamental workings of the universe."
"We know neutrinos are dark matter."
"Neutrinos have been discovered and this amazing back and forth between theoretical ideas and experiments that were devised to test those hypotheses is a testament of the robustness of the scientific process."
"Neutrinos are really important because they are direct measures of exactly what's happening in the center of the Sun."
"Neutrinos transform from one flavor to the other, and it was an enormous undertaking from the 1960s to 2009 to actually discover."
"If there were no neutrinos, the Sun and the stars would not shine."
"Neutrino flavor change implies non-zero neutrino mass."
"It's a particular kind of neutrino, but what Enrico Fermi realized long ago is that you can actually take this neutrino and put it on the other side of the equation."
"So we really want to study neutrinos interacting on a nucleus and we're going to use these interactions to try and probe the nucleus better."
"The prevailing wisdom is that the neutrinos have mass. Absolutely not wisdom, it's an experimental fact."
"If you waited a half period to do the experiment with a neutrino, you would get 50% probability of it acting like a mu neutrino, 50% like an electron."
"Neutrinos just don't care about any other particles. They just do their own thing, streaming harmlessly through the universe."
"Neutrinos are kind of like the ghosts of particles because they can pass through ordinary matter."
"Neutrinos are some of the strangest and most mysterious objects in the universe."
"Using neutrinos now as a tool to study the universe at a deeper level is the future of this field."
"They're invisibly tiny and can travel through solid rock and even stars as easily as they do through space."
"Tiny ghosts called neutrinos, are they faster than light? They out of sight but they might hold the universe tight."
"Now there's three kinds of neutrinos we find: electron, muon, and tau, all flying blind."
"There's probably more neutrinos in the universe than any other particle that we know, and yet paradoxically we know less about them than anything else."
"Neutrinos still play a big role in shaping the universe and the way it looks."
"Neutrinos that are created in the core of the Sun zip straight away from the core in all directions."
"There's like a trillion neutrinos going through your thumb every second."
"Neutrinos from the sun are going right through you about a thousand billion through every square centimeter of your body every second of the day."
"Neutrinos... play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe."
"Anita discovered something kind of strange... neutrinos that a group of scientists suggested could be a glimpse into a parallel universe."
"Neutrinos immediately escape from the star as it's exploding, fly off into space, and then the light arrives minutes or hours after the neutrinos."
"The neutrinos can mix together with the anti-neutrinos and form a massive Majorana particle which is its own anti-particle."
"Neutrinos have weak charges; they interact under the weak interactions."
"We know they're not massless because of neutrino oscillations."
"About a tenth of the mass of the collapsed core was converted into pure energy, emitted in neutrinos."
"If you let's say correlate a supernova with a slight burst of neutrinos, then you've got a pretty significant astronomical event."
"Neutrinos are produced in immense quantities with greater and greater energy."
"This is called the direct Urca process and serves to produce neutrinos in unimaginable abundance."
"Neutrinos are elementary particles similar to electrons but they are far less massive, have neutral charge, and hardly interact with matter."
"Neutrinos... don't actually interact with a lot of matter."
"As a result of a supernova explosion, every human being on earth was bombarded by a hundred billion neutrinos."
"Fortunately, neutrinos are harmless elementary particles."
"Neutrinos are different from photons; they decouple from the rest of the universe about one second after the Big Bang."
"Neutrinos pass right through all the stellar materials."
"The universe was starting to generate neutrinos."
"Fortunately, neutrinos are harmless and they interact very weakly with matter."
"The discovery of atmospheric neutrinos is the biggest contribution of grand unified theories to date."
"Every second, trillions of neutrinos pass through every square centimeter of our bodies, yet their ghostly nature renders them imperceptible to human senses."
"Dubbed ghost particles due to their elusive nature, neutrinos have captured the fascination of scientists since their first detection."
"Neutrinos are almost massless; they're not massless, so they go almost at the speed of light."
