Supermassive Black Hole Winds May Solve Mystery of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays

Supermassive black hole winds may solve mystery of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays

NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the big, unanswered questions in physics. The universe is full of different types of radiation and particles that can be observed here on Earth. This includes photons across the entire range of the electromagnetic spectrum, from the lowest radio frequencies all the way to the highest-energy gamma rays. It also includes other particles such as neutrinos and cosmic rays, which race through the u…

In space, an invisible flood of particles – so-called cosmic radiation – races at near speed of light The post Does a black hole explain the mystery of high-energy cosmic radiation? first appeared on Nordisch.info.

Could black holes explain ultra-high-energy cosmic rays?

Mysterious, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have confused scientists for decades. Now, new research from Norway suggests supermassive black holes and their powerful winds might be the long-sought cosmic accelerators behind these extraordinary particles For decades, a fundamental mystery has puzzled physicists: the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. These minuscule particles, primarily atomic nuclei, hurtle through the universe at astounding …

The NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the great questions without an answer in physics.
