About 100 trillion of them just passed through your body. Not one of them touched you.

Neutrinos are the universe's ghosts: nearly massless, electrically neutral, and so indifferent to matter that a light-year of solid lead would barely slow them down. They stream out of the Sun, the Earth's core, exploding stars, and the Big Bang itself, carrying messages no other particle can deliver. Catching even a handful of them takes cathedrals of water buried beneath mountains and telescopes drilled into Antarctic ice.

Lincoln Quigley tells the complete story of the particle nobody wanted and everybody needed, in clear, vivid language with no equations required.

Inside, you will discover:

• A desperate remedy - how Pauli invented an undetectable particle to save physics, and apologized for it
• Catching a ghost - the experiments that finally proved the neutrino real
• The solar neutrino problem - the decades-long shortfall that made physicists doubt the Sun itself
• Shape-shifting particles - neutrino oscillation, and how it broke the Standard Model wide open
• Cathedrals of water and ice - inside Super-Kamiokande, SNO, and the IceCube observatory
• Cherenkov light - the blue glow that is effectively a sonic boom made of light
• SN 1987A - the supernova that announced itself in neutrinos hours before the flash arrived
• The deepest questions - absolute mass, sterile neutrinos, and whether these particles explain why anything exists at all

From a reluctant guess on a 1930 postcard to the frontier of multi-messenger astronomy, this is the definitive guide to the most elusive particles in existence.

They are passing through you right now. Here is what they are carrying.
