An extremely high-energy particle is detected coming from an apparently empty region of space::Amaterasu particle, one of highest-energy cosmic rays ever detected, is coming from an apparently empty region of space
It’s just a ship dropping out of warp a safe distance from our system. While inconvenient, it’s considered best practice to drop out well away from the system’s center to shed the particles you’ve accumulated in your warp bubble during transit. They are extremely energetic and can cause immense damage if released irresponsibly close to an inhabited planet. This is especially true when visiting a primitive world that hasn’t set up any sensible warp safety systems.
Yeah, I thought this was common knowledge by now? It’s like they don’t even care to do some digging before posting stuff anymore…
It’s from one of them Laconian magnetar-class battleships
113 times a second, it reaches out.
Oh man, I’m rereading the Expanse series right now. Halfway through Abaddon’s Gate, shit’s about to get weird.
equivalent to the energy of a golf ball travelling at 95mph
So I am curious about this comparison. If this particle had hit you square on the top of your head, rather than the array they built to detect it… would you even know it? Would it kill you? Make you uncomfortable? What?
I think it would probably go through you?
Someone got hit by a proton beam in a particle accelerator and survived: https://medium.com/predict/the-man-struck-by-a-particle-accelerator-beam-ab829b2e1949
This is such a bad and sensationaliat article - completely ignoring that we use protontherapy for quite a while now.
It’d obliterate what ever particle(s) were unfortunate enough to be in the way. They’d turn in to a shower of other particles, like sticking your head in a particle acelerator, but all at once.
It’s highly unlikely all of the energy would go in to you, so it’d amount to a narrow beam of ionizing radiation. Potentially deadly, potentially not. A guy did get his head in a particle acelerator beam when he thought it was turned off. Saw a really bright flash and all. It kinda’ messed up that narrow channel of flesh and he has some cignitive issues as a result.
It would warp you to the top of the tower.
They just shot our golden disk back to the library lol. No wonder they got bored by this record. Send some Frank Sinatra or something next. Let’s show them the classics.
It’s just styropyro, he tried out a new mixture on his golfball cannon
"In this episode, i’ll turn my microwave into a death ray. "
When they say “local void”, do they mean like a cone extending in that direction with nothing behind it or a space with nothing inside it but stuff behind it?
If it’s the former, what is going on with that?
If it’s the latter, couldn’t this have traveled from one of the things behind it?
