In 1991 the Fly’s Eye detector,
which monitored the sky for the glow caused by energetic particles slamming into our atmosphere,
detected a flash so huge it defied belief:
the cosmic ray that sparked it had an energy of 320 quintillion eV,
or 320 billion GeV.
That’s millions of times the kinetic energy of protons we can spin up in our most powerful particle accelerators.
It’s so energetic, in fact, that it actually has a decent macroscopic equivalent:

Where did the ‘Oh-My-God’ particle come from?
A single subatomic particle from deep space had the same energy as a baseball pitch, and scientists still don’t know how it got here

Gartenarbeit im Januar heißt bei mir Werkzeugpflege. Meist schaff ich es im Herbst nur mal grob abzubürsten oder ich vergess es gleich ganz. Die Strafe ist dann Rost.
Also mit Stahlbürste ordentlich abbürsten, bei schlimmen Befall etwas Rostumwandler drauf und zum Schluss ölen (da nehm ich Balistol).
Ein Werkzeug, dass ich bisher noch nicht kannte und welches nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall zum Einsatz kommt, ist eine Schuffel, die mir der Vorbesitzer hinterlassen hat, und mit der …
