A new study conducted by experts from the Norwegian University of Natural Sciences and Technology (NTNU) has presented an alternative theory about the origin of hyperspeed space rays, which could significantly change our ideas about the universe. This was reported by Fotyni to Oikonom, head of the research team, in an interview with Science Daily.
“We suspect that this higher radiation is generated by winds from extreme black holes,” said Oikonoma.
Extreme cosmic rays include protons and nuclei of atoms with energies up to 10^20 volts of electricity. Oikonoma explains that this is a huge amount of energy equivalent to that of a tennis ball flying at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
For comparison, this is about a billion times higher than the energy of particles produced in a large adrone collider. These rays, falling into the earth's atmosphere, break up, becoming safe for the surface of the planet. Although they pose no direct threat to people on Earth, they can pose a danger to astronauts, as high-energy particles carry potential health risks in space.
Earlier in the universe, a new type of object was discovered for the first time.
