Can neutrinos pass through neutron stars and black holes?

Answer 1

Some say yes, some say no. It is not settled.

Even photons do not "escape" a black hole, despite their extremely small mass, they ARE "ejected" from them, so it is possible to infer that if escape velocity is possible, then entry and exit may be as well.

Since neutrinos have a very weak interaction with matter, they can travel through black holes and neutron stars.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
