Neutrinos: Particles found in the universe.

In the immensity of the universe there are so many subjects for which many scientists dedicate much of their lives to find them a correct solution, so many theories, answers and even mysteries that one is left to solve, today I will tell you a bit about what neutrinos, Particles that are found throughout the greatness of the universe.
But first I will explain that it is a neutrino:
Neutrinos are particles that can be found in the whole universe, they have the capacity to move at an approximate speed to the speed of light, they are characterized by not containing electric charges and because it has very little mass.

Neutrinos are also known as "phantom particles". This name arises because, when interacting with atoms, these particles can pass through matter without any problem.
In 1932, Wolfgang Pauli, declared the existence of this particle, but it was not until 1934 that the physicist of Italian origin Enrico Fermi in charge of the development of the theory of radioactive decay, I give the name Of neutrino to this particle.

The origin of the neutrinos comes from the nuclear reactions that come from the sun, just as supernovae are capable of generating many of these particles, as well as several types of radiation that come from the space, the neutrinos in many cases pass to the atoms Without any friction, but when it happens the result of that friction energy is released and through that energy new particles are created.

The universe will never leave us without study subjects due to its great and possibly infinite immensity, the neutrinos are only a small part of which the universe gives us for subjects of study and investigation.

This is not correct. The fact that their mass is small is not related to the fact that they are not charged. Those are independent properties of the elementary particles.
By the way, I wrote 2 posts about neutrinos last week, in which I am providing extra information :)
One day we will conquer space :)
