ghost particle

A ghost particle, often called a "neutrino," is a tiny, nearly massless particle that rarely interacts with matter, making it extremely difficult to detect. These particles are produced in processes like nuclear reactions in the sun, nuclear reactors, or supernovae. Despite their elusive nature, they are abundant in the universe. Because they pass through most objects without interaction, they are like "ghosts," literally passing through everything and only occasionally being caught by specialized detectors. Studying neutrinos helps scientists understand fundamental physics and the inner workings of cosmic phenomena.
