Nobel Physics prize spotlights neutrinos passing through your body
Original: Right now, 100 trillion neutrinos are piercing your body every second... slipping through the massive empty spaces insid
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics is drawing attention to neutrinos, ghostly particles that stream through matter almost unimpeded. Around 100 trillion of them pass through every human body each second, slipping through the empty space inside atoms without interacting. Commenters are sharing the physics behind the discovery that earned the award.
Why now: The announcement of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics has renewed public fascination with neutrinos and the scientists who detected them.
