What kind of radiation that can penetrate basically everything including thickest lead and concrete? Even the strongest radiation, so far, such as radio wave and gamma ray can be stop by thick lead and concrete. So, is it possible that there are kind of radiation that pass thru everything?

Gamma radiation can be stopped by lead and concrete.

The correct answer is "gravitational".

A neutron star can stop/scatter most of them.

Gravitational waves are the only thing where absorption is negligible for every realistic object.
