Through our bodies, 100 billion neutrinos pass every second: what this means
Published
Scientists have reminded us that approximately 100 billion neutrinos pass through the human body every second. We do not feel them, because these particles barely interact with matter.
Neutrinos are fundamental particles. This means that they do not decay into smaller elements. They almost do not react with matter, so they can travel enormous distances. For example, neutrinos can pass through the Earth almost without obstruction.
Most neutrinos come from the Sun. The star constantly emits them during nuclear reactions. Therefore, people on Earth receive them in large numbers every day. Due to their weak interaction with matter, neutrinos practically cannot be detected by ordinary instruments.
Studying neutrinos helps scientists better understand the structure of the Universe and the processes occurring in stars. Researchers continue to study these particles in order to gain new knowledge about physics.
