Neutrinos annoy me.

They frustrate me.

Thinking about neutrinos gives me a headache.

They drain me mentally, physically, even spiritually. Trying to understand

neutrinos shortens my life. Every time I try to think about neutrinos, I can feel a connection

between my neurons snapping. I think neutrinos are making me dumber.

But you asked.

Some of you want to understand them.

Some of you say it's your favorite particle.

I don't get it, but I always tell you that if you ask me questions, I'll answer them on the show.

But this is going to be tough, folks.

Part of the reason is that neutrinos

just live complicated lives and are prone to lawlessness. They make the rules, not us. They are

indecent. They violate all social norms and common sense. They don't care about you. They don't

care about me. They don't care about anything that makes this universe great. The other part of the reason is that we don't care about you. They don't care about me. They don't care about anything that makes this universe great.

The other part of the reason is that we don't understand neutrinos, which is very frustrating.

I mean, yes, we don't understand most of the universe.

That's physics and that's science and that's job security and that's okay.

But we can make neutrinos in our laboratories. We can capture them.

We can figuratively hold them in our hands and yet we still can't fully explain them. That's

frustrating. When I can give you a neutrino, I say, here's a neutrino. You say, well, what's up

when neutrinos? I say, I don't know, but here it's yours now. That's a frustrating experience. And we're going
