It never ceases to amaze me that every second of every day, more

"It never ceases to amaze me that every second of every day, more than 6,000 billion neutrinos coming from nuclear reactions inside the sun whiz through my body, almost all of which will travel right through the earth without interruption." Thus declared Lawrence M. Krauss, physicist and seeker of cosmic truth, who with these words reminds us of the invisible ocean in which all of us swim. He reveals that the universe is not silent nor still—it is alive with streams of energy and particles so subtle that they pass through stone, water, and flesh as though through air, carrying within them the heartbeat of the sun itself.

The ancients did not know the name of neutrinos, but they knew the feeling of awe that Krauss describes. They looked to the heavens and spoke of the gods, of the fire chariots that pulled the sun across the sky, of unseen forces that governed life. What Krauss names with science, the ancients named with myth, yet the essence is the same: that the cosmos moves through us, that we are not separate from the heavens but penetrated by them, bathed each moment in their mysteries.

To think that in every instant billions of particles born in the nuclear furnace of the sun pass through our bodies is to be humbled. These particles neither stop for mountains nor oceans, neither yield to flesh nor iron. They travel unhindered, messengers of creation, bearing silent witness to the power that sustains life on earth. And though we feel nothing, though we go about our days unaware, we are forever joined to this invisible river of light.

History too shows us how often humanity awakens to truths hidden in plain sight. Consider Galileo Galilei, who lifted his telescope and revealed that the moon was not perfect, that Jupiter bore its own moons, and that the heavens were not as simple as men believed. His discoveries were invisible to the naked eye, but once revealed, they transformed the human soul. Krauss’s reflection on neutrinos is of the same spirit: a revelation that the unseen is greater than the seen, and that reality is far deeper than our senses suggest.

This saying is not only about physics—it is about perspective. To know that the sun’s energy pierces us constantly is to be reminded that we are woven into the great fabric of existence. We are not mere bystanders in the cosmos; the cosmos flows through us. The same force that lights the skies and ripens the harvest streams through our very bones. In this knowledge lies wonder, humility, and reverence for the mystery of life.

O children of tomorrow, let this be your lesson: do not think that what is unseen is unimportant. The invisible often carries the greatest power. Love, though unseen, binds hearts more strongly than chains. Trust, though intangible, sustains nations more surely than armies. And the neutrinos—particles without weight, passing unseen—remind us that life itself is sustained by forces too subtle for the eye. Honor the invisible, for in it lies the foundation of all that is visible.

Therefore, live with awe. Marvel at the mysteries beyond your sight. Learn from the sciences that reveal the unseen, but also open your spirit to wonder. Know that even as you breathe, the fire of the sun courses through you in ways you cannot perceive. Walk with humility, for you are not separate from the stars—you are part of their endless song. And when you remember this, your life will no longer feel small, but vast, carried by the same currents that race across the cosmos.

Thus, the words of Krauss stand as a hymn to the hidden: billions of neutrinos, each second, each day, flowing through us as silent reminders that the universe is never distant. It is within us, around us, and through us—forever.
