Apparently Einstein agreed with your view cuz he’s reputed to have pretty much hated quantum mechanics. And physics has only gotten weirder since then.
I imagine there are an infinite number of particles. We are not meant to completely understand the universe there will constantly be stumbling blocks put in our way on purpose imo.
A neutrino is a fermion (an elementary particle with half-integer spin) that interacts only via the weak subatomic force and gravity.[2][3]
The mass of the neutrino is much smaller than that of the other known elementary particles.[1]
Although only differences of squares of the three mass values are known as of 2016,[4] cosmological observations imply that the sum of the three masses must be less than one millionth that of the electron.[1][5]
The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small (-ino) that it was long thought to be zero. The weak force has a very short range, gravity is extremely weak on the subatomic scale, and neutrinos, as leptons, do not participate in the strong interaction. Thus, neutrinos typically pass through normal matter unimpeded and undetected.[2][3]
Weak interactions create neutrinos in one of three leptonic flavors: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, or tau neutrinos, in association with the corresponding charged lepton.[6]
Although neutrinos were long believed to be massless, it is now known that there are three discrete neutrino masses with different tiny values, but they do not correspond uniquely to the three flavors.
A neutrino created with a specific flavor is in an associated specific quantum superposition of all three mass states. As a result, neutrinos oscillate between different flavors in flight. For example, an electron neutrino produced in a beta decay reaction may interact in a distant detector as a muon or tau neutrino.[7][8]
For each neutrino, there also exists a corresponding antiparticle, called an antineutrino, which also has half-integer spin and no electric charge.
They are distinguished from the neutrinos by having opposite signs of lepton number and chirality.
To conserve total lepton number, in nuclear beta decay, electron neutrinos appear together with only positrons (anti-electrons) or electron-antineutrinos, and electron antineutrinos with electrons or electron neutrinos.[9][10]
Neutrinos are created by various radioactive decays, including in beta decay of atomic nuclei or hadrons, nuclear reactions such as those that take place in the core of a star or artificially in nuclear reactors, nuclear bombs or particle accelerators, during a supernova, in the spin-down of a neutron star, or when accelerated particle beams or cosmic rays strike atoms.
The majority of neutrinos in the vicinity of the Earth are from nuclear reactions in the Sun. In the vicinity of the Earth, about 65 billion (6.5×1010) solar neutrinos per second pass through every square centimeter perpendicular to the direction of the Sun.[11][12]
For study, neutrinos can be created artificially with nuclear reactors and particle accelerators.
There is intense research activity involving neutrinos, with goals that include the determination of the three neutrino mass values, the measurement of the degree of CP violation in the leptonic sector (leading to leptogenesis); and searches for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, such as neutrinoless double beta decay, which would be evidence for violation of lepton number conservation. Neutrinos can also be used for tomography of the interior of the earth.[13][14]

Yet, no doubt we know only a fraction of a fraction about God's amazing universe.
So much more to learn and many more wonderful discoveries to be made!
WINNING!
I think it’s cosmic nutria. And they are creating rat-hats.
Probably due to the influx of illegal migrant neutrinos...
There is an infinite number of particles so gonna be a long journey of discovery.
I don’t recall which book it was in, but C.S. Lewis pointed out his aversion for the word, “supernatural.” His position was that labeling something as supernatural presupposes that mankind has a full grasp and understanding of all nature, which we clearly do not. Just because something lies beyond our knowledge or understanding does not mean it isn’t natural.
I’m reminded of that every time I read an article like this...
The universe is made up of protons, electrons, neutrons and morons.
Reality Formula:
Universe = What you can imagine + What you can’t imagine
Bookmark for later... Thanks for the article!
OOOOO! a new particle! now they’ve discovered the ultimate secret of the universe!
I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose

I'm sure they'll find a way to link it with 'dark matter'.
I think we should sell surplus neutrinos to needy third world countries.
Global warming - it’s sterilizing the neutrinos !!
So, cost of neutrinos going down?
Then there is unobtainable they may or may not find.
