The notorious MEWtrino

It's too cute to be observed through classical means

That's just the half of it.
Watch the weight on the scale fluctuate, as the ~~kitty~~ neutrino keeps ~~adorably~~ creepily gazing at you.

Do neutrinos not have mass? I think you mean electric charge.
- “Almost massless”. Neutrino masses are so small that they haven’t been measured (yet).
  
  OH NEUTRINO NOT NEUTRON
  
  Science must make some scientists go insane when they can see something, know some of its properties and such, but you can't empirically measure it or really prove it exists.
  "The neutrinos are just in your head, Wolfgang."
  
  As close to nothing as something can be and still exist... as far as we know.
  That mass is so small, and behaves so strangely (it fluctuates), that the theories say the neutrino does NOT get its' tiny fluctuating mass from the Higgs Field.
  And if that ain't a mind-blower of what is at the very edge of human knowledge and understanding of reality, I don't know what is.
  
  as far as I understand, the only way we know is that we have observed that they move slower than light, and therefore must have mass
  
  really? I thought it was the same as a proton.

You have to get a letter scale to measure the smol
