Fun fact: Because of the insane speed this particle traveled at it experienced an extreme version of Einsteinian time dilation. If this particle originated from a distance of 1 billion light years, it would take approximately 1.5 days in the reference frame of the proton to travel that distance. i.e. if it was aware of the travel time, it was just a short trip before it hit out planet

I would like to note that, on average, memory bits gets flipped two or three times for non cosmic ray reasons for every one that gets flipped by cosmic rays. The effect isn't negligible, but even without cosmic ray induced errors, the number of bits flipped would be in the same general area as it is now. The most common reason for errors is when a bit flips legitimately it creates a magnetic field that can sometimes cause a nearby bit to flip as well.

This makes sense since chip makers spend a lot of effort to get "good enough" error rates for each new generation of chips with smaller transistors, and when the error rates are on the same order of magnitude as cosmic ray errors, that defines good enough.

This was actually used for a malware attack in the past. If a program could figure out where it was being physically stored on a chip compared to where basic system security protocols were, and if it could cause the two to get shuffled around, it could gain access to physical bits around important physical bits for the computer's security and hammer that bit over and over again until it flipped giving it control

Can't agree, unfortunately. The audio sounds raspy, like there's static riding over the top. It makes it necessary to listen _very_ attentively to make out what is being said. The raspiness almost disappears at low volume, but a different kind of attentiveness is then required to follow the narration. This general state of affairs is _not_ particular to the new microphone (or new position of the same microphone); it's, as they say, a 'feature' of the channel. I don't know why, but suspect it's a function of the manner in which the video is encoded (post-shoot).

@castonyoung7514 6 ай бұрын

How exactly would that be devastating? Like okay it hits another particle that's part of a cell, so some of the energy is likely converted into static mass while other particles are sent off too, but there is so much space between and inside atoms, that what are the chances that either of the original two particles, or the created particles are going to collide with another one in your body? I don't see how that energy is going to stay inside your body, except for maybe a few neutrons generated by the collision.

@wasd____ 6 ай бұрын

It wouldn't be devastating. You wouldn't even notice it. On the scale of single particles the size of protons, you wouldn't have enough target surface area at such extreme relativistic speeds for it to interact with too much of you.

Great stuff, as always, Anton. Note that the limiting factor is based on the concept that energy distribution throughout the universe is symmetrical - but it isn't. Voids have fewer interference sources to reduce the energy of fast-moving particles. Thus, particles originating from very distant origins (perhaps from beyond the observable universe,) are only likely to reach us when their path isn't blocked, i.e. through a void.

You wouldn't feel anything. Even the one he mentioned with the equivalent energy of a baseball would go completely unnoticed because only a tiny percentage of that energy would be imparted into your body as it passed through. It would definitely destroy any DNA it hit, so it could be the reason you develop cancer years down the line, but nothing would happen in that moment.

The first thing that came to mind when you said it came from the local void was some kind of interaction with dark matter or dark energy, it'd easily explain why we're not seeing anything there and quite likely also the unfathomable energies. Like maybe a super rare collision of two dark matter particles creates a planck length black hole that instantly evaporates with hawking radiation. E: Since a lot of people probably won't read the replies I'll update this here too. Did some calculations based on the theorized energies of WIMPs (100GeV range) and as one might guess from the assumed particle energies they're nowhere near enough to even theoretically produce a planck scale black hole. Either there'd need to be billions of them or they'd need to have energies far above theorized.

An acquaintance of mine told me about this a few days ago. A particle was detected having the equivalent power of a baseball. To think of how much power that single particle had staggers the imagination and requires some sincere thought about whether or not there really is such a thing as a multiverse because that particle couldn't, or shouldn't, actual exist.

Seeing the location of the source of some of the cosmic rays is so close, I had a thought that some mechanism of black holes approaching each other past the final parsec might be producing them, the energy emitted resulting in the black holes getting nearer to each other

@tyresefarrell 6 ай бұрын

I agree with this, it could be like a space scissor between black holes or dark matter is my idea, as if we had scissors between Earth and the moon and shut them it’d be at almost light speed, in this sense it could be a scissor that sends hypercharged particles everywhere if it’s a merging black hole, this idea takes away the need for it to come from one place as it could be from anywhere and sent in any direction

@@tyresefarrell Not an expert, but I think for something as violent as a black hole collision we'd be likely to see very strong sustained radiation, since the black holes wouldn't collide in a single instant. So it's not a good explanation for these very intermittent particles. However, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a side effect of something much smaller falling into a black hole, or even a collision between two objects in orbit very close to a black hole.

Seriously, think of how much this man makes through donations with 1.21 million subscribers and had to quibble with a landlord over a rent increase, saying he couldn't afford it. PLUS he works as well. And just decided to update a microphone. Just think if only 1% of those subscribers were only giving $1 a month. That's 3 grand a week.

What I think is happening with these cosmic rays to make them so powerful is due to a type of lensing. For example if there are undetectable smaller black holes in close enough proximity to each other that in a sweet spot between them cosmic rays came escape. Meaning that they are pulled and accelerated from the side away from us in toward the black holes and then exit at that sweet spot at a higher rate of speed and energy. Much like how a fresnel lens works. Thanks for this video Anton! I very much like this kind of thought experiment.
