[edit] Neutrino flux

Did you know that if you hold your palm towards the sun, day or night, more than a trillion solar neutrinos pass through it every second?

  • Support - Because it's really cool! The article mentions the solar neutrino flux at the earth is 70 billion neutrinos/(cm*sec). Since the hand is around 50 cm^2, it's probably around 4 trillion, but I think "over a trillion" is safer, and just as impressive. Bmk 03:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
