Gilded Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Once again, I'm reading interesting info that's abou 11 years old. This came up: http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/ohmygodpart.html That was in -94. Wikipedia tells me that at least 15 similar phenomenons have been detected since the first detection. Has there been any recent research of origin of the so-called Oh-My-God-particle(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hmm... "blazars". Never even heard of them. ) Rather amusing subject though, especially for the contraction perceived from the particle's frame. The mass-energy equivalent is quite funny too (I mean come on, it's a proton with a m-e eq. near an E. coli bacterium ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan14 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I have discussed this before and someone said that it could be some very heavy material such as neutronium, I don't know what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskay Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I thought that nothing could escape a black hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
