You have to be careful with how a slingshot works, you cant for example use just _a_ black hole, youd lose just as much from getting out of the well as you gain falling in. You can use an orbiting black hole which can get up to incredible speeds and impart a lot of energy on things sweeping by* but I dont believe itd be anywhere near enough to produce the insane speed seen in these particles. *Id recommend reading 'The Halo Drive' by astrophysicist David Kipping who has his own channel on KZread 'Cool Worlds' for a very neat break down of how we could use such things in the far future.

Particles accelerate on the way in, but decelerate again on the way out. The net velocity added to the particle can't be more than twice the velocity that the black hole is moving relative to us. (From a distance, a gravitational slingshot looks like a bounce.)

The black hole would need to be large, rotating quickly and with a powerful magnetic field. The particle would need also to be in the upper TeV to lower PeV range and hit at the event horizon boundary at the axis of rotation. Imagine a supercollider but with an acelleration ring that is about the orbital track of Neptune's orbit.

For those thinking 'nearby'.. 2:40 "One of the local clusters of our galaxy" I ASSUME means "one of the galaxies in our local cluster". The local cluster is bettern known as the local group and is a cluster of galaxies, of which ours is one. It's a cluster containing multiple galaxies. So 'relatively nearby' is still a mind numbing distance measured in the millions of lightyears. Andromeda is the closest galaxy to ours and it's a bit over two and a half million lightyears off. A quick Google search for 'local cluster' didn't show anything relevant but if I've misunderstood what that sentence actually means, then someone please let me know. It's nonsensical otherwise. Edit: 3:02 The screenshotted article at this point has the words "supercluster of galaxies" at the top of the screen. So I think I'm fairly safe in my interpretation of that odd sentence.

There are some serious misunderstandings with regard to physics. Until we get them straight the science community will always dumbfounded by observations One important misunderstanding is the nature of em radiation. It is NOT a velocity in vacuum; it IS a rate of induction. Consider the implications of this difference.

Already saw a video on this a few days ago. Interesting topic though

Are we able to calculate the rate of slow down imposed on the HMG particles by the CMBR?

ok stupid question time.. if E=mc2 and this is super high energy .. could this help explain missing mass in the universe? or dark energy ?

Great description of the speed of that particle. I mean, I knew already but, GAH!

My first guess is that these are particles accelerated in a cumulative manner over time by a supermassive black hole that "escape" via some process not yet known, but perhaps akin to jets from the poles.

Are there particle detectors arrays in space? And it is possible to create a particle collider in space that uses natural cosmic rays as a source of collisions with particles generated by the collider?

My guess, as a person with no real knowledge on this stuff, is they escape from black hole. Like they are circling inside the accretion disk of the black hole and getting a super gravitational bump before escaping. That's why we can't find the origin. They are from black holes that don't have a visible accretion disk. There are a ton of black holes out there and most of them are invisible.

I'm old enough to remember a pop music group from the '80s, a group with a strange name: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Change the first word into "Orchestrated" and we have a description of what is ongoing: stellar levels of energy exchanges occurring outside of stars, within the vast darkness of the Universe. An example, the surface of the Sun is at 6000 °C but it is surrounded by the Sun Corona at 1,000,000 °C. This to say, the energy has ways to travel from a very energetic body to a far region of the Space and manifests there as a stationary volume where the EM fields are ludicrously strong. It is not necessarily a front, but a series of stationary sectors with increasing charge, so that a proton is accelerated sequentially - just like in a railgun. In my hypothesis, the particle is not bouncing like the photon between the two mirrors of a laser, but is proceeding like an electron between the dinodes of a photomultiplier. Thank you Prof. Miles for your exemplary videos. Greetings, Anthony

Maybe it was a Boltzman particle that spontaneous appeared out of a freak massive quantum fluctuation?

It´s a warp drive signature. When the warp field is slitly flucuating a relativitic particle may escape.

This happened so you could explain gravity and how it starts, in a region of space with no gravity on weak gravitational force, ... When particles interact with each other they behave differently in space compared to earth. ,at some point so many particles are bunched up together, in out atmosphere or in space ie gas cloud. cosmic Ray's interact , just like you have shown in this video, cosmos Ray's or other energetic particals can only influence the particles on the outside of a mass of particles cloud, unless its energy is unknown (higher than), unable to penetrate the inner mass from bumping into so many other particles and changing direction, a unorganised process that becomes organised finding order with interaction. If a chain reaction has already started, a calculation of mechanisms that have their own purpose find order to create a structured system of movement dictated by all forces associated with a partical. They start moving in order pushing the particals not associated with this order , out until they also find a place where their charge fit/ finds balance. (Comics rays divide oxygen into atomic oxygen, on the edge of our space, as a example) Since earth already has gravity, I guess all these particles in our atmosphere find their position to form elements we can understand, or we have discovered a process that was here long before us, maybe it has always been that way... Maybe we are just partical bunched up in a form, trying to discover ourselves.... Sorry if I didnt explain well, but one day soon, I well spend a few days explaining this, even though its known already, but still hasn't been associated with the process surrounding gravity....

There's been extra galactic gamma ray sources reported recently. I've detected Iron cosmic ray decay in my basement particle detector and fogging the entire detector. Is it merely coincidence or cause/effect, but not in that order effect preceding cause, depending on relativity in a Quantum universe? Higgs transient events? Great video.

The explanation about the particle bouncing sounds analogous to a laser, where the pressure wave is the half silvered mirror. I wonder is a collapsing mag field could act like a shaped charge………. Where the repulsive nature of the protons acts to concentrate the energy and therefore speed, like the copper jet in an anti tank round?

what would be the theoretical change if the super high energy particles were made of something other than protons -- e.g. boron atoms?

I have to think there's some natural particle accelerator in the sky that we just haven't discovered yet. The first thing I think of is - do we know what happens when two black holes collide? If a proton is whizzing around the accretion disk, I know we're taught that nothing can escape a black hole, but another black hole probably has enough pull to strip mass away and the interaction of the gravitational fields is likely to let some rogue extemely-high-velocity particles escape

Re The OMG particle; I believe it carried about fifty joules of energy, which is the recommended energy of an arrow to kill a deer.

6:48 Funny sunbeds.

Nobody ever answer my hypothesis of the friction of matter and space. Anyway, I believe the only energy abundant could be the Black Hole Jet Stream, but maybe also Super/Hypernova explosions, powerful enough pulsars and Dwarf Stars poles, besides the Sun of course; but what about Dark Energy? Maybe laced with it matter can be laced with Dark Matter and form a different particle; since apparently particles are expression of Energy that bend Space, so I don't see why not bend the Light Speed Limit

My idea is a black hohle you can go very close to an event horizon to absurd speed but then it got that extra kick and it flung out either that or alien morse code D

Very likely as well. The problem is, that these particles are coming from a part of space that kinda has nothing there (just a few, small galaxies). Huge blackholes generally tend to have stuff around them. But again, it is not that unlikely to have some weird rogue blackhole that has been kicked from its galaxy by some interaction with another powerful gravitational entity (another blackhole, neutron star, etc.).

Consider the feather/brick experiment, where both experience the same acceleration due to gravity. So no, protons and photons wouldn't experience gravity differently. 2) Could the trajectories of these cosmic rays have been affected by gravity? Sure. But remember that gravity is tremendously weak. Therefore, for it to make such large changes in trajectory, the particles would need to have originated from far far away. The GZK limit tells us that this is not possible. If the GZK limit is correct, then we know that these particles have originated relatively close enough to not be affected by gravity so much. Therefore, for you to be correct, the GZK limit would have to be wrong.

It could be a message from an advanced civilization.

If a spacecraft was travelling towards us at near light speed, the light waves of the ship would be compressed to a higher frequency light on the leading edge. It means it couod be giving off gamma rays even though lower frequency light as radio waves would be shifted upward to become visible light. (Stealth could be negative or 180 degree shifted radio waves to cancel out the radio waves so the visible light of the ship is eliminated).

Im sure this has been considered and refuted, but you didnt bring it up in the video. Since we arent detecting the particle itself, but rather its damage (shower of particles), perhaps these arent individual particles. But a number of particles travelling together. For the 240 EeV particle, whats to stop it from being 10 * 24 EeV particles that are microns apart. Arriving at almost the exact same moment. Causing the shower. Its like looking at the damage caused by 10,000 * 1 ton bombs vs a single 10 kiloton nuclear bomb (ignoring radiation), it might be hard to deduce which of those two scenarios caused the damage. Or, i guess im saying, they could be confused for one another. (Again, ignoring radiation.) Also, again. Im sure there is a reason this has been disproven. But you didnt say why, so i ask it.

In my opinion, it could be huge if we never manage to find an answer to this using 2023 physics. This would mean some new physics, which is always huge. This could in theory by dark matter particle annihilation, which could provide us a lot of insight into its behavior.
