Neutrinos, known as ghost particles, are chargeless and near-massless particles that stream through the universe at nearly the speed of light, with their source often being a mystery. Researchers theorize that the lack of emissions from the "little red dots" could be due to black holes buried in dense halos of dust and gas, potentially contributing significantly to the high-energy neutrino background observed on Earth.
