John Cramer wrote in one of his alternate view columns for Analog
". The most energetic cosmic ray particle observed up to now, which was
recorded at the Fly's Eye detector in Utah, had a measured energy of about 3
´ 1020 electron volts or 50 joules, roughly the kinetic energy of a baseball
thrown at 60 mph."
I find this to be mind boggling.
A proton with that much energy.......wow..
