"Neutrinos, to the extent they're famous, are famous for not wanting to interact with anything. They interact with regular matter so rarely that it's estimated you'd need about a light-year of lead to completely block a bright source of them. Every one of us has tens of trillions of neutrinos passing through us every second, but fewer than five of them actually interact with the matter in our bodies in our entire lifetimes."

The five times in your life a neutrino interacts with you:

1. Your first kiss.
2. On quitting your first job.
3. First viewing of Fantastic Planet.
4. First time you are bit by a ferret.
5. On finishing the final draft of your first novel.
