I\u2019ve never done that, so I can\u2019t be sure it\u2019s the same. My drive is to search for new things. And with neutrinos, what attracts me is that it\u2019s such an enigmatic particle. It\u2019s the particle we understand the least. It\u2019s full of surprises. I like the mystery. One of my other interests is in Egyptology, and I like the mystery of the pyramids, the Sphinx.
