In our theory we treat them all as point particles corks and electrons and neutrinos really have essentially zero volume in our theory. But neutrino is tiny compared to the electron and the other particles in sort of another way not in literal volume but in mass. The mass of these neutrinos is something just above zero we know it's not zero but we also know it's very very small. There are many orders of magnitude less massive than the electron andthe corks so in that
