Irrespective of what this person says (who seems to have a bit too much of a poetic bent for their own good), Neutrinos are only interacting so little with ordinary matter because the forces they are subject to are mediated by the W and Z bosons, and because those W and Z bosons are so heavy, the interaction is super short-ranged, thus making their collisions with atoms rare. Nothing about this is particularly mysterious, and no, they don't inhabit a different universe. I'll happily elaborate on this if you are actually interested in the science.
By the way, this isn't so true any more for very high energy neutrinos - people thinking about building Muon colliders have to worry about the health effects of the high energy neutrino radiation emanating from decaying muons - high energy neutrinos can be a very real, and very ordinary, radiation hazard which has nothing otherworldly to it.
You can always trust an atheist to turn the spice of life into sand
So when a scientist who is actually doing the experiments, talks about it, and with passion because obviously he's passionate about it. You're just going to dismiss it because it doesn't correspond to your knowledge -
the knowledge you gained by reading what he's working on....
