Slight of Particle Hand (a riddle)

Smallest particle in the universe,
Three "flavors" in elemental purse.
Ghost in machine-- slight of particle hand,
Not a positive charge in this decaying band.
Traveling near the speed of light,
Steady, neutral, and out of sight.
Trillions pass through us every second,
1930 was when we were "reckoned."
Twenty five years proved the detection,
Out from the sun-- "An earthly injection!"
Elementary particles (hints of our trace),
Traversing galaxies-- outskirts of space.
Interacting with forces of gravity,
Still, left-handed are we in cirality.

Author notes

This may be difficult to the unscientific mind (like myself-- don't ask-- I have no idea where it comes from) and yet I never know how tough most are. Honest. And I hope you truly enjoy!

Please tell me what you think

  • I'm taking Chemistry, but that isn't helping. Honestly, how do you come up with this crazy stuff, and it RHYMES! My answer is an atom, maybe a quark. Dunno, but whatever Mr. Albert Frankenstein!

    Well I thought one thing, then realized another. I may be wrong on both. Dern it. OK...will message to see if I am right. Great rhyming riddle that has this old mind ticking away.

    Blessed be,
