The First Interstellar
Oh, my God!
Оглавление“I hope your gratitude will extend to having your Section perform a slight chore for me.”
“A chore?”
“A matter of Life-Plotting. I have the data necessary here with me. I have also the data for a suggested Reality Change in the 482nd. I want to know the effect of the Change on the probability-pattern of a certain individual.”
– The End of Eternity (Isaac Asimov, 1955)
I have a strong feeling, a certain confidence, that I learning all these events in a certain sequence, which leads to the planned necessary cultural changes in my inner world.
The sequence in receiving portions of information, and its minimum dosage, suggests the principle of MNC (Minimum Necessary Change).
Perhaps starting in 2020, I sometimes began to feel that I was feeling some ‘movement’, I could feel that I was not standing still, but moving somewhere, and this was not connected with the objects around me, nor with the manifestation of energy around me. Naturally, I liked this illusory feeling, and of course I could imagine it – for example, as ‘a movement in space with the planet’, but I understood that this feeling was a pure illusion, some kind of abstraction. Movement by itself, without going away or approaching anything.
I assume that this constant sense of movement is the result of one of the Attributes that affect me.
This illusory feeling helped me in the struggle against undesirable energy effects, because if I did not concentrate on my body or energy, but turned my attention to explicit abstract values that I was almost completely carried away, then this complicated the process of capturing my attention.
And the most likely explanation is that I play computer games every day, and while playing WoWs, I see sea waves moving towards my ship on the computer screen, which may well give rise to some external sensations of movement when the physical body is motionless.

Oh-My-God particle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh-My-God_particle
“The Oh-My-God particle (as physicists dubbed it) was an ultra-high-energy cosmic ray detected on October 15, 1991 by the Fly's Eye camera in Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, United States. As of 2025, it is the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. Its energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×1020 eV (320 exaelectronvolt). The particle's energy was unexpected and called into question prevailing theories about the origin and propagation of cosmic rays.
Comparisons
The Oh-My-God particle had 1020 (100 quintillion) times the photon energy of visible light, equivalent to a 140-gram (5 oz) baseball travelling at about 28 m/s (100 km/h; 63 mph). Its energy was 20 million times greater than the highest photon energy measured in electromagnetic radiation emitted by an extragalactic object, the blazar Markarian 501.
Later similar events
Since the first observation, hundreds of similar events (energy 5.7×1019 eV or greater) have been recorded, confirming the phenomenon. These ultra-high-energy cosmic ray particles are very rare; the energy of most cosmic ray particles is between 107 eV and 1010 eV.
More recent studies using the Telescope Array Project have suggested a source of the particles within a 20 degree radius ‘warm spot’ in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major.
The Amaterasu particle, named after the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, was detected in 2021 and later identified in 2023, using the Telescope Array observatory in Utah, United States. It had an energy exceeding 240 exa-electron volts (2.4×1020 eV). This particle appears to have emerged from the Local Void, an empty area of space bordering the Milky Way galaxy. It contained an amount of energy comparable to dropping a brick from the height of the waist. No promising astronomical object matching the direction from which the cosmic ray arrived has been identified.”

“The energy carried by the OMG particle was 50 Joules, which is several tens of millions of times more energy than the energy of subatomic particles accelerated in the Large Hadron Collider. A particle with an energy of 2×1010-20 eV or 32 Joules was registered on December 3, 1993, and another carrier of 23 Joules on January 13, 2007, but the record for an OMG particle has not yet been broken, although it is statistically possible that some very high-energy cosmic rays coming to Earth will exceed the energy of an OMG particle.”

“The newly discovered particle, named the Amaterasu after the Sun goddess in Japanese mythology, was discovered by the Cosmic Ray Observatory in the Western Utah Desert, known as the Telescope Array. The telescope array, which began operating in 2008, consists of 507 ping-pong table-sized surface detectors covering 700 square kilometers (270 square miles).
The observatory recorded more than 30 ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, but none of them was more energetic than the Amaterasu particle, which hit the atmosphere over Utah on May 27, 2021, causing a rain of secondary particles to fall to Earth, where they were picked up by detectors.
Invisible to the naked eye, the energy of this subatomic particle is equivalent to dropping a brick on your toe from waist height, according to the authors of a new study published Thursday in the journal Science. The study showed that it competes with the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed – the Oh-My-God particle, which was discovered in 1991.”
Comment from the article: “One of the main assumptions in Lev N. Gumilyov's theory of passionarity was certain energy impacts on the Earth's surface in different historical periods. According to the author of the theory, a certain combination of landscapes, different peoples living and bordering each other and having a complementarity (mutual attraction) plus starting energy strike from the far depths of space, generated a core of very active people who formed a new idea, a new community, and being many times more energetic than ordinary people (passionaries) began to form a new organism – an ethnic group. Which, having already received such a start, began to grow in the phenomena described and understood by man, created history.”
A mystery covered in darkness, or riddles of the particle Oh-My-God! (link in Russian)

“However, on October 15, 1991, even the most highly qualified physicists will come to the conclusion that not all the mysteries of the cosmos can be solved by humans. On this day, or rather, in the evening of this day, when the sun in Utah, USA, has already set over the horizon, the detector with the funny name ‘Fly's Eye’ (or, more scientifically, HiRes – High Resolution Fly's Eye Cosmic Detector) recorded an ultraviolet flash in the sky – this is there was a trace of a superparticle that would later take over the minds of the world's physicists. Its speed was 99.99999999999999999996% of the speed of light, and its energy was 320 eV! It was a case of the Universe's mockery of all mankind: the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) limit was shatteringly broken; the record for the speed of elementary particles achieved at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the most powerful and large-scale experimental facility of our time – was broken tens of millions of times; Albert Einstein's titanic theory of the speed of light as an elementary particle is being questioned. After seeing the indicators on the dashboards, the researchers did not hesitate to christen the phenomenon with the particle Oh-My-God! This was the starting point of a new hunt for the physicists of the world – the hunt for the elusive energy monster and the source that produced it.
However, when talking about ‘catching’ such particles, we should mention the existing problems: first, superparticles with an energy of more than 1 eV are extremely rare – they arrive on Earth once a century and bombard the territory within 1 km^2, and secondly, ground-based detectors register not a cosmic ray particle directly, but a secondary particles generated by the interaction of the primary particle with the upper atmosphere. Secondary particles (such as pions, hadrons, photons, muons, neutrons, electrons, and protons) are already being released in millions instead of the single primary, and they are no longer pouring down to Earth in a stream, but in a cascade, called a broad atmospheric shower in astronomy. The width of such a shower can reach several kilometers, and, therefore, in order to unravel the secrets of primary ultra-high-energy particles encoded in secondary particles, ‘hunters’ need to place their ‘traps’ in giant territories.
One of these ‘traps’, as already noted, was the High Resolution Fly's Eye detector, which by a happy coincidence managed to track the legendary particle. This was the first detector to use the principle of air fluorescence: when a cosmic ray crashes into the upper atmosphere, the particles interact with air molecules – with the nuclei of gas atoms; when a charged particle interacts with the nucleus of a nitrogen atom, the latter is excited and moves to a higher energy level; the excitation energy released in this case has the form weak glow – bands of ultraviolet light, which is detected by the detector. By examining this radiation, the detector can determine the energy of the primary particle and the approximate flight path.
On the other side of the world – in Japan, 120 km west of Tokyo (in Akeno), there is another observatory for catching ultra-high-energy cosmic rays – the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA). The stations of this detector stretched over an area of 100 km^2 and worked on a completely different principle – the scintillation principle. It consists in the fact that the detector detects particles no longer in the air, but at the moment when they reach the surface of the earth. Of the secondary particles, only electrons and muons reach the earth, and when they enter a transparent scintillator (plastic, liquid, or crystal), they cause a glow in it – scintillations that are recorded by photomultipliers. By recording the time the secondary subatomic particle reaches the earth at different stations, you can investigate where the primary particle came from.
But, as it turned out, these two detectors came to opposite conclusions regarding the existence of the GZK limit. If HiRes, according to the data obtained, established that the primary particle arrives to us from nearby sources, which does not refute the existence of the GZK limit, then AGASA, on the contrary, recorded that the deposit of such ultra-high-energy particles is located in distant sources, more than 500 million light-years from Earth, which negates the entire hypothesis of Greisen, Zatsepin and Kuzmin. So how do you know the truth?
Most cosmic rays are caused by explosions on the Sun, but this source is not so powerful as to give acceleration to a particle such as Oh-My-God. Pulsars are already more powerful, but their magnetic field is too weak to hold an accelerated particle; even if we are talking about magnetars – pulsars with a strong magnetic field – while moving in a circle, the particle will still spend energy emitting electromagnetic radiation and, eventually, will fly out, losing the necessary energy reserve.
Thus, supermassive black holes, colliding galaxies, and supernovae remain candidates for the role of a cosmic superparticle accelerator. Speaking of black holes, it should be noted that acceleration in this case occurs due to quasar jets: a black hole located in the center of the quasar, as a result of accretion – absorption of surrounding matter – acquires a huge mass and emits super-powerful radiation – a jet, which can serve as a source of particle acceleration.
There is another potential way for a superparticle to form – when it is initially born with ultra-high energy.
Such a fuss about cosmic rays is quite due, because the study of superparticles will help us not only to learn the mysteries of the Universe, but also to discover the connection between them and the physical processes taking place on Earth. Moreover, it has not yet been established whether Oh-My-God particles are really neutral in terms of their effect on the human body – perhaps such atmospheric showers can make changes in our DNA chains.”
I should note that I became interested in this particle, since its discovery on October 15, 1991, was close to the time when I watched the premiere of the film Mona Lisa directed by N. Studnev (October–November 1991) in the cinema and abruptly changed my fate. I wrote about this in the book 19+.
