Join the hunt for the most common, but also the most elusive and confusing particle in the universe. (Aired October 6, 2021)

With a number of atoms exceeding a billion, neutrinos are the most common but also the most elusive and puzzling particle in the universe. NOVA joins an international team of neutrino hunters attempting to capture an elusive fourth form of neutrinos. Their findings could force scientists to redraw their model of the subatomic world, the standard model of physics, and change our understanding of how the universe works.
