Very cool, I wonder if this applies to interactions that "can't" happen in our current universe? I have read in the early big bang, forces "combined" together, like the electric and nuclear weak force. Could a electron interact with a neutrino for example? |

Could, and it does happen. Observed about sixteen years after the first direct observation of a neutrino interaction:

More modernly and generally, neutrino-lepton scatterings are part of the weak interactions in the Standard Model: https://www2.ph.ed.ac.uk/~playfer/PPlect11.pdf
(and of course there is an even weaker gravitational interaction between leptons and neutrinos that we cannot demonstrate directly with current technology)
