the claim

Neutrinos can pass through the Earth without interacting.

Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that neutrinos can pass through the Earth without interacting?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that neutrinos interact very weakly and that most pass through the Earth without interacting, with one measurement noting a tiny interaction fraction. One source notes that very high-energy neutrinos can be absorbed in Earth, a caveat rather than a contradiction of the general claim.
