A groundbreaking finding that challenges our understanding of cosmic ray origins.
Cosmic Rays Arrive Before the Black Holes Merge
For 60 years, scientists assumed cosmic rays were accelerated by violent explosions. New analysis of UHECR arrival times relative to gravitational wave mergers reveals something extraordinary: the particles arrive before the merger, not after. This suggests acceleration occurs during the inspiral phase via spacetime forcing (STF).
