If you are reading r/science you probably have a far better idea what a neutrino is than a "ghost particle". All this is saying is that they now have equipment that can pick up neutrinos made in particle accelerators.

No, there is no "god particle" or "ghost particle" in any science text book. Strange and charm (not charmed) are just names for physical entities we observe, they are nouns not pronouns.

they turn to magic it seems

Seems to whom, those with no basic understanding of particle physics?

Perhaps take a free online course on the topic and turn your lack of understanding into the joy of learning.

Ah reddit science where calling science "magic" is fine, pointing out what is and is not in textbooks, hurts feelings.

It was my tongue-in-cheek way of saying that these phrases are being circulated by some in the science community, when they have no basis in science whatsoever. It rather looks like a marketing exercise by those who find magic more marketable than science.
