Neutrinos may be oddest of all the fundamental particles of nature. Almost a century after their prediction, and sixty years after they were first detected (by a future chair of the CWRU Physics department and his collaborators), we know that they come in three varieties (flavors) that change into one another as they travel through space, but we have yet to measure their masses or other important properties. We will learn what we do know about neutrinos and how we learned it, and highlight some of the most interesting remaining mysteries.
