Correct me if I am wrong but don’t cosmic rays originate from the deep space, they are high powered energy particles that can pass through dense substances but do not enter Earth’s atmosphere. Would it be possible to have a collector in space to generate energy from them?
one way to shield a habitat in outer space from cosmic rays is with an absorbing blanket of some kind, which would function much like the atmosphere that protects the Earth.
I need to put down another way; however, this is the only thing I cant think of right now. What would be another way?
Are solar rays the same thing as cosmic rays? Are cosmic rays and neutrinos the same thing?
What prevents neutrinos from reaching the earth’s surface? Some of them get through, I know that. Is the ozone layer responsible for shielding the earth’s surface (and hence, us) from neutrinos?
Have mutations arisen due to neutrinos hitting us? [...]
I heard that some country in Europe was working on harnessing cosmic rays as an alternative energy source and that it is possible. What are the concerns about this and are those concerns legitimate?
What do cosmic rays have to do with transmutation?
