On the positive side of things the next three years will give a multitude of people something to believe in. I for one hope that the Death planet is currently being attacked by some X wing fighters.

Such speculative faith never hurts much, except maybe if your being burnt alive at the stake for having an opposing opinion)

On a more tangible side, I am wondering about the wording of the article / discovery. It suggests that the (our planet) is being bombarded, (as if it was on purpose or with intent)

I'm inclined to believe the (intent) behind the wording is attention grabbing, but the reality is somewhat akin to saying that the light from say, Eta Carinae has been purposefully attacking us by shining in the night sky?

Anyone care to follow up?

Apropos an article ‘Looking for a higher theory of everything’ Interaction: Michio Kaku published in Times of India, New Delhi on seventh June 2008 at page number fourteen. I have written following two papers which may lead to the realisation for a higher theory of everything:

(i) Gravitation Force is the Ultimate Creator,
(1st Int. Conf. on Revival of Traditional Yoga, Lonavla Yoga Institute, Lonavla, January, 2006)
(ii) In Scientific Terminology, Source of Gravitational Wave is God
(2nd World Congress on Vedic Science, BHU, Varanasi, Feb 2007)
I have presented these two papers at the two different International Conferences. I am now submitting some views for being considered for Unified Field Theory

From Scriptures:
The Current which manifested in the beginning of the creation is the Current of Sabda (Sound) and of Chaitanya (Consciousness). From whom that Current issued forth is known as Soami (Supreme Being). This Current, by turning back can merge again in the Holy Feet of Supreme Being. The entire creation manifested from this current and is sustained with its energy and when the Current of the Holy Feet is withdrawn, the creation ceases to exist.This Current of the Holy Feet is the Reservoir of all energy, tastes and pleasures, knowledge, skill, shapes, forces and light etc. etc. and of the entire creation, is also the Creator of all of them.

From Science:
Gravitation Force is the cause of manifestation of the creation (birth of planets, stars), its sustenance and when it is withdrawn towards centre or source the entire creation ceases to exist. Photons have originated from gravitons. In black holes photons merge into gravitons. In Black Holes, Gravitational Force is so high that it does not allow even light to escape. What does it mean then? It simply means that the gravitational force at black-holes attracts light towards it with much greater velocity than the speed of light. In fact, all forces including electromagnetic force, material force (strong and weak nuclear force) all merge into gravitational force in black-holes and becomes one force there and when the creational process starts again from a Black-Hole all the forces appear (manifest) again and descends downwards to create billions of stars, planets, satellite, asteroids and various life forms.

Hence it can be assumed that the Current of Chaitanya (Consciousness) and Gravitational Wave are the two names of the same Supreme Essence (Seed) which has brought forth the entire creation.

Anirudh Kumar Satsangi,

All cosmological researches should be conducted keeping in view of the following philosophical facts:
It has been stated in Bible (John I-1) “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,”
The Radhasoami Religion also tells that, the ‘Word’ mentioned above is in fact Current of Sound or Current of Consciousness or Prime Current of Spirituality which was issued forth from its Source, or Creator or God. This Current has later on produced light and other forces. The scientists are discussing these days about dark energy which constitute about 96% of the entire universe which is not known to us. Only 4% part of the universe is known to us by all scientific means. In fact this 96% invisible portion of the universe is the vast expanse of spirituality which can be designated as field of gravitational waves in scientific terms. Visible portion of the universe (4%) consists of consciousness (gravitational force), mental force (electromagnetic waves) and material force (strong and weak nuclear force).
Body = Nuclear Force (weak as well as strong)
Mind = Electromagnetic Force.
Consciousness = Gravitation Force.
According to Radhasoami Religion the whole Universe can be sub-divided into three grand divisions viz.
1. Region of Pure Spirituality
2. Region of Subtle Maya
3. Region of Gross Maya
Nuclear forces dominate Region of Gross Maya (Gross Material Region), Electro-magnetic forces dominate Region of Subtle Maya (Subtle Material Region) and Gravitational Force dominates Pure Spiritual Region.
This is the only Truth which can be verified scientifically and can be termed as ‘higher theory for everything’. This also supports the statement of Sir Sahabji Maharaj the goal of science – Truth; the goal of philosophy – Ultimate Reality; and the goal of religion – God are the three names of same supreme essence.
1. Many things are common between Current of Consciousness and Gravitational Wave.
1. Current of consciousness can not be seen by any means and gravitational wave can also not be seen.
2. Current of consciousness is the weakest force on earth. Its strength goes on increasing on higher regions. Gravitational force is also very weak on earth and strong on Sun and even more stronger on black holes.
3 Tendency of both current of consciousness and gravitational waves are towards their source or centre.
4. Current of consciousness and gravitational force are both regarded as the creater of all the celestial and terrestrial bodies of the whole universe. They are also sustainer of these and when they turn back towards their source or centre the whole universe will collapse.
Hence it can be assumed that the source of current of consciousness and gravitational wave is the same i.e. God or ultimate creator.
This theory is based on scientific deduction. All other theories appear to be work of imaginative thinking and sometimes do not satisfy the criteria of scientific verification. In scientific terms it can be said that the ‘gravitons’ are the elementary
particle which was issued forth in the beginning of the creation accompanying with sound ‘Radha’

Prime Spiritual Currend = Gravitational Rays = Cosmic Rays
Do you agree with this?

"These two results may be due to the same, or different, astrophysical phenomenon…" and
"Whatever the source of the protons we observed with Milagro, their path to Earth is deflected by the magnetic field of the Milky Way so that we cannot directly tell exactly where they originate." Not exactly statements full of precision.

Perhaps a better way to put this would have been that we have found a source of cosmic rays hitting Earth. We are now trying to determine if this is related to the unknown source that was recently discovered. While the rays appear to originate from two points in the direction of the constellation Gemini, due to the Milky Way's magnetic field we will have to conduct more analysis to determine the correct point source.

As Dr. Goodman phrased it, it makes him sound bad to a layman. Remember, layman may not work in the business, but they due ultimately fund it.

If the black hole was small and inactive, how would we even know how to detect it?

I suppose that “in the vicinity of the earth” means in the vicinity of our Solar System, is it?
How far could possibly be these cosmic ray sources? Like a near star? Or a lot more far away?

I hope there’s someone who could possibly answer to my questions. Thanks so much in advance, and please, be patient with my poor English.

@Barbara

According to the first story, the source is supposed to be within a kiloparsec – which is approximately 3260 lightyears. The nearest star to us is slightly more than 4 lightyears away. Until an exact location can be better pinpointed, a definitive source for the cosmic rays remains in the realm of speculation.

However, they both (the two sources of cosmic rays discoved from nearby regions of space) suggest the presence of high-energy particle acceleration in the vicinity of the earth.

That's it, sorry.

Anything that is able to produce such power should rate at least 2.5, if not 3 on the Kardashev scale (seeing that a single sun-type star can impossibly accelerate such amounts of cosmic rays.)

I think something like that would be extremely inefficient for communications.
