- Highly energetic particles from outer space travelling at the speed of light, known as cosmic rays, originate from the sites of extreme particle acceleration in the Universe.
This lecture considers just how energetic these rapid particles are, the origins of their extreme energies and the implications for Earth.
A lecture by Katherine Blundell

Oh, my, I would take her lectures just to listen to her voice.
The content was also excellent and well presented. Thank you Gresham for making these available.
Brilliant lecture. Thank you!
Katherine must be a photon of light because she doesn't seem to age!
I have authored both peer viewed articles and by invite only I have given an MIT presentation in of March 2019 on applications of cosmic rays if only British Parlaiment would let me tap Magnetic North.
a small aha moment...there are a lot of photons out there, right?
are they really massless?
Yes, they appear to be. They have been examined very closely for over a century.
@@cuscof2 well at least we agree that to us, it could still be... ahem..."up in the air"
Most beautiful scientist on Earth. Lucky husband, all that and a genius too. U must have kids, theyll invent cancer cure, warp drive and utopia on Earth. Haha. Love u
