| Electron neutrino || <span style="color:#e31f22">N</span><sub>e</sub> || {{w|Electron neutrino}} || ν<sub>e</sub> || Randall is annoyed by the similarity of the Greek lowercase nu (ν) and the lowercase V (v). Interestingly Randall leaves the "electron" part of its name and the subscript E of its symbol, even though he has eliminated the other neutrinos. | | Electron neutrino || <span style="color:#e31f22">N</span><sub>e</sub> || {{w|Electron neutrino}} || ν<sub>e</sub> || Randall is annoyed by the similarity of the Greek lowercase nu (ν) and the lowercase V (v).
