m1omg. Neutrinos interact predominantly through three channels, the two charged weak currents...(W
+, and W
-)...and the neutral weak current..the W
0...also called the Z
0.
If of sufficiently high energy, the charged currents can convert protons to neutrons with gammas occurring...not good for you, or neutrons to protons with transmutations of nuclei occuring also....kind of like Lot's wife and the pillar of salt trick....ouch.
As the neutral current, heating occurs calorimetrically, since kinetic energy and momenta are delivered....
At the right distance, and spatial orientation, you'd come right up off your seat from a prompt neutrino burst....so enjoy your levitation...as the g-wave passed through...
