http://www.pbs.org/nova/neutrino

Broadcast: February 21, 2006 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (NOVA airs Tuesdays on PBS
at 8 p.m. Check your local listings as dates and times may vary.)

In this program, NOVA probes the secret ingredient of the cosmos:
swarms of invisible particles that fill every cubic inch of space and
just may explain how the universe was created. Trillions of ghostly
neutrinos move through our bodies every second without us noticing a
thing. Yet without them the sun wouldn't shine and the elements that
make up our world wouldn't exist. This program explores the 70-year
struggle so far to understand the most elusive of all elementary
particles, the neutrino. NOVA accompanies scientists into the
laboratory, revealing astonishing footage of bizarre experiments.

Here's what you'll find on the companion Web site:
