It's the elusive neutrino, a submicroscopic particle that weighs almost nothing, has zero electric charge and virtually no interaction with the rest of the universe. In nature, neutrinos are created in vast numbers by every star. Our sun, for example. In the time it took you to read this sentence, 65 billion solar
