Incoming Cosmic Rays Hit Record High


www.wired.com

The Earth was pummeled with record-setting levels of cosmic rays in 2009. Measurements from NASA’s Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) and other spacecraft found that more high-energy particles from galactic space penetrated the inner solar system in the last few years than at any other time since the beginning of the space age.

The spike is almost certainly due to several weird aspects of the most recent solar minimum, and could be the start of a new normal for cosmic ray levels.

Great picture with the article to give a visual representation of what they are talking about. It makes sense. Lower sun activity == lower force blocking us from cosmic radiation. Does this have anything to do with particuliar galactic alignments? Will be interesting to see what they discover about this.

Someone messed up REEEEAAL bad with their ZPE experiments a few systems over, apparently.

Wasn't it Clarke that said something like "Most quasars are vacuum energy experiments that didn't work out right"?

edit: Can't you just see Emperor EeepOrk with one tentacle on the big blue button saying "Hey y'all, watch THIS s--t!" for the cameras just before the end?
