Attack of the "KILLER ELECTRONS"!!!! Don't worry, we have a "Star Trek-style force field"...All Good...
So, FOX News ran this story regarding the discovery of a "STAR TREK-STYLE INVISIBLE SHIELD" which protects us from "KILLER ELECTRONS"...

[link to www.foxnews.com]

From article:

"The electrons, which travel at near light-speed, are capable of damaging space electronics and can put astronauts in danger."


They are lying by omission.... and revealed absolutely no more thatn was revealed in a 2013 "Nature" publication... but the researchers did reveal MUCH MORE...

What Fox revealed is far from ground breaking. It was published in Nature in 2013...




The researchers posted their own article on the UC-Boulder Site:

From that article:

“Nature abhors strong gradients and generally finds ways to smooth them out, so we would expect some of the relativistic electrons to move inward and some outward,” said Baker. “It’s not obvious how the slow, gradual processes that should be involved in motion of these particles can conspire to create such a sharp, persistent boundary at this location in space.”


Wait, "RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS"???

Fox said they were moving "near the speed of light" and never mentioned the words "relativistic", "X-Ray" or "Gamma-Ray".

FAIR AND BALANCED...

They never mention "relativistic" and YES IT IS A HUGE DEAL.

Why?

Once a particle is relativistic it is no longer to be considered a particle (if you are a relativist).... It is considered as having no mass, only velocity...

They are then the cosmic rays if from space and "relativistic electrons" (horrible name imo) if man-made in a synchrotron or elsewhere, but science really gets blurry right about here...wonder why?

Here is a source:

Why this distinction is important is this:

Once an electron goes relativistic, the amount of radiation (X-Rays or GAMMA RAYS) it produces goes up roughly THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. 10 becomes 10,000.



It gets even better... The publication in Nature, which is here, but I refuse to pay for this shit:

Wait, now they are talking about "Ultra-relativistic electrons"... WOAH, mind-blowing huh? Wait, relativistic isn't all?? ....Nope.

Relativistic = near the speed of light and no longer having the characteristics of a particle.

Ultrarelativistic = very close to the speed of light.

Nah, not confusing at all... makes complete sense. (Sarc.)

OK, this is a huge deal guys. There is a reason the huge synchrotrons have been built or are under construction all around the world.

IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT, THE WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY CRAP YOU WERE TAUGHT AND TOLD HAS NOT BEEN FIGURED OUT.... IS ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTOOD - THEY JUST DIDN'T BOTHER TO TELL YOU... THEY PRODUCE PHOTONS IN VARIOUS FORMS USING THE SYNCHROTRONS (ALL THE WAY UP TO X-RAYS AND POSSIBLY EVEN GAMMA-RAYS).


Just in case you're curious, we do have MANY facilities that accelerate and store "near-relativistic electrons".

The state of the art synchrotrons use an accelerator and then a storage ring to produce loads of synchrotron radiation...


They produce "light" (photons) 10 billion times brighter than the sun!!! Light is the wrong word as it can produce X-Rays and possibly Gamma-Rays - they don't say it, but I suspect some are capable....

Basically, they create a stream of "near relativistic electrons". They then force the charged electrons to spiral or oscillate using huge magnets to extract radiation in the form of photons when the electron stream is forced to turn while spiraling or oscillating.

But, hey, they are simply doing what nature does, at much higher energies than we can...




This is the U.K.'s new facility....it's pretty cool....lala



THE DIAMOND LIGHT SOURCE

Diamond Synchrotron:

[link to www.diamond.ac.uk]

Notice what they study!!

[link to www.diamond.ac.uk]








The US synchrotron NSLS-II is being built at Brookhaven National Laboratories by the DOE.

[link to www.bnl.gov]

NOTICE WHAT THEY USE THESE TO STUDY.....crystallography and nanotechnology... among many other curious things.

[link to www.bnl.gov]





This is a good video on synchrotrons, it's the Australian synchrotron, but it is similar to the others:






Honestly, they are so secretive about these things that I have a hard time understanding all of the implications and subtleties...

I have my suspicions.


bonghit



I'm sure they are doing just normal harmless research at these beasts being built worldwide....
