can you measure the energy or just detect the event?
@Lukian hmm good question. I am guessing only detect the event, since otherwise you would have to calibrate the system to a standard. I'll look around. There may be something that can be accomplished with today's tech...
That should get the ball rolling
@CraeftSmith the 97 page pdf is free as well! Bedtime reading.... giddy!
@Lukian right? I love arXiv!!!
weirder and weirder, im never gonna get a phd in astro physics

the particle has the same force as a baseball going 50 mph!!! that is outrageous!
@Lukian whats the equivalent to an English cricket ball ?
@magicwatch what's the weight of a cricket ball?
@Lukian 5.5 to 5.75 oz (156 to 163 g) but don't bother to answer, the speed of either a baseball or cricket ball in comparison to an cosmic particle is ridiculous
@magicwatch if a cricket ball weighs on average 160g then it would be equivalent to the energy of being hit by a cricket ball at 90 km/h. Considering the mass of the proton to be 1.7 X 10(-27) kg
Talk about a moving target.
@dalefvictor howazat,!
@magicwatch getting the PhD. Information is changing theories all over the place. Or do I have it wrong?

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22

Posted by starwatcher-alOne of these days I think that I'll figure out this Nikon.
