Abstract
Due to their weak interaction with matter and to the absence of their interaction with the electro-magnetic radiations, neutrinos can travel in the Universe without being absorbed. This is not the case for photons which interact with matter, with the infra-red (IR) radiation and with the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
