What is Neutrino? A neutrino is a fundamental quantum particle in physics, belonging to the lepton family, whose behavior can only be understood within quantum mechanics. Here’s what makes it special: Electrically neutral – it has no charge. Extremely small mass – much lighter than an electron, but not exactly zero. Hardly interacts with matter – trillions pass through your body every second without leaving a trace.

We usually talk about energy in terms of power plants and fuels, but our bodies are tiny power stations too. A typical human produces roughly 80 watts continuously, about the power of a small light bulb. Scaling that by population gives an interesting historical perspective. Let's do some calculations and visualizations ...
