      Hello
      You must be referring to the “joke” that I put on the profile.
      No, neutrino in theory should be created after the big bang. At the beginning the universe is so small that it is extremely hot and particles are interacting a lot with each other. In doing so, they sometimes create neutrinos. We cannot detect these primordial neutrinos today, unfortunately.
      However, an experiment discovered that neutrino could travel faster than the speed of light, and this was basically messing up all what I have just explained. However, they discovered that they didn’t plug correctly a cable in Italy, and that this very weird result went to rubbish!
