What if I told you that, no matter where you are or what you are doing, about 100 trillion neutrinos are passing through your body every second?  Well, you might first respond, as I did, by asking what is a neutrino, and then wondering why we seem to have no awareness at all of their presence.  I mean, if were one or two particles, sure, you might miss them, but 100 trillion every second?  I needed to learn more so I spoke on our podcast, AMSEcast, with Alan Chodos and James Riordon about their fascinating book, Ghost Particle: In Search of the Elusive and Mysterious Neutrino.
