Origin Of Cosmic Rays: VERITAS Telescopes Help Solve 100-year-old Mystery

I won't pretend to know much about this but I found it interesting and thought our science community would also
www.sciencedaily.com...

I realize my profile isn't/wasn't working properly so I'm reposting a couple threads Thanks.

Hi

Interesting read, thanks for posting it.

Side note: Re: Profile problems, have you tried clicking on member tools at the top of the page and then clicking on ATS Account Settings and then clicking the complain button, or the report malware/virus button? Write out what is going on and I'm sure you'll get some help with it.

I tried to pull up your profile and just got an error page also.

Yeah, I have talked to the mods and can't really do anything but thanks.

Not just exploding stars.
From all the normal suns in the universe.
I do not think there are enough exploding stars for the
recorded Cosmic Particles (formerly lied about as Rays).
Just an opinion.
And no mention of Tesla who boasted that the particles were
his discovery.
It would be nice to see his notes but we can't.
Too much information no doubt.

I found this information most interesting:


therefore the VERITAS space telescope does not measure intergalactic
cosmic rays(particles)...it only can measure local 'Milky Way' cosmic radiation... which is 500X less than the target M82 galaxy.
Am i thinking correctly? then what is the 'background' cosmic radiation left over from the big-bang event...is that stuff cosmic protons that actually enter the galactic membrane ~or~ are we again measuring the gamma rays byproduct ...
