«An additional challenge is that the flux of particles striking any detector decreases steadily with higher energies,» said ISS - CREAM co-investigator Jason Link, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Discovered in 1912, cosmic rays are high - energy charged particles arriving at Earth from space.

As these monsters feast on clouds of gas, their intense magnetic fields could thrust jets of high - energy particles out into space at virtually the speed of light.

At higher altitudes it is relatively harder to retain this energy as more heat is lost to space.

What exotic objects in deep space are firing out particles at by far the highest energies in the universe?

The solution, Hoava says, is to snip threads that bind time to space at very high energies, such as those found in the early universe where quantum gravity rules.

EXTRA DIMENSIONS If space has dimensions beyond the familiar three, particles might interact differently at high energies, and the conjectured unification energy might not be as high as physicists now think.

Using publicly available data from NASA's Fermi Gamma - ray Space Telescope, independent scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Chicago have developed new maps showing that the galactic center produces more high - energy gamma rays than can be explained by known sources and that this excess emission is consistent with some forms of dark matter.

He also looked at the tree - ring 14C record, using the hypothesis that in the absence of solar activity the high energy cosmic rays which produce 14C in the atmosphere penetrate to circumterrestrial space in greater fluxes, being less repelled by the solar wind.

Recent exhibitions include the UCR California Museum of Photography, Vincent Price Art Museum, 3rd Moscow Biennale, Open Field at the Walker Art Center, High Energy Constructs, Kristi Engle Gallery, Chime & Co., Cerritos College Art Gallery, Barnsdall Municipal Art Gallery, Solway Jones Gallery, Sea and Space Explorations, Track 16 Gallery, DEN Contemporary and the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art.

If the Earth absorbs more energy, its temperature rises, which causes it to radiate more energy back into space (Stefan - Boltzmann law) until it reaches equilibrium at a higher temperature.

At higher levels CO2 becomes a net radiator of energy to space so that the slope of the lapse rate increases again.

Without the atmosphere the surface would be losing energy at a much higher rate to space.

Instead of the higher tropopause being at a colder height and radiating less to space (as proposed by AGW theory) the entire body of the troposphere expands and lets energy pass to space faster due to the reduction in average density.

When CO2 molecules (or any other GHGs) absorb more energy than those around them their higher temperature increases the spaces between them and adjoining molecules reducing density and causing them to rise until they reach a height where they are at the same temperature as surrounding molecules.

Since we have agreed that I accept (at least provisionally, as far as the powerfully augmented eye can see) an expanding Universe and am therefore clearly religious about physics and mathematics and reason if nothing else, can you explain to me how God isn't something and yet is capable of things like sentience, action, choice, design, starting off Big Bangs out of nothingness — all things that seem to involve a remarkably high degree of material complexity and organization (not to mention time, and space and energy)-- not to mention various Amazing Powers to make an entire Universe poof into existence out of nowhere with just the right rules to work out to become (in very small part) me some 14 billion years later.

By simple physics that meant the Arctic was losing energy to space at a much higher rate than average.

According to what I have read, the Earth directly emits its highest - energy IR photons, at 8μm to 12μm wavelengths, through a win ¬ dow to space without interacting with any gases.

With Arc, our spaces can be net positive and our world can perform at the highest levels possible in terms of energy, water, resources and human health.

Latent heat of vaporization at the surface, especially over the oceans, carries a tremendous and not easily quantifiable amount of energy straight through the CO2 like it wasn't there and releases it much higher up where the path out the door to space has much less resistance compared to ground level.

Yes, the same amount of energy has to get out into space at the same rate, over the long term, but the absorption by greenhouse gases requires the surface temperature to be higher in order to radiate at a sufficiently higher rate (than would otherwise be the case) to make up for the fraction absorbed.

So, without any external heat source and none from the planet all that's in play here is the heat this chilled out band of brothers gains on the way down, heavier and sinking gaining kinetic energy and therefore temperature the denser they get until finally at the surface becoming too hot they expand and rise slipping out of their restricting gravity and rude neighbours bumping into them they get themselves some space and cool off, then coming back off their high when they realise just how cold and lonely they are, getting nostalgic again for their noisy neighbours who won't stick to their side of the road, forgetting, we do forget just how horrible horrible past experiences were, that they'll just get all hot and bothered again.

AER was also lauded for developing a new method specifically designed for the offshore wind energy market to provide synthetic 30 ‐ year climatologies — at ultra ‐ high space and time resolution — of wind at hub height.

So it is the temperature higher up in the atmosphere — at an altitude of about 5 km — that determines the rate at which this energy is radiated out into space.

So, that is what we came up with — A few very simple models, such as the one that involves 3 objects: one object A producing thermal energy and radiating energy at a fixed rate, two other objects B and C whose temperature is determined via radiative balance with object A and empty space, with a geometry such that the temperature of object B is higher than that of object C. And, what we wanted to illustrate is that the object C «warms» B in the colloquial sense of the word... i.e., that the presence of object C causes B to be at a higher temperature than if C is absent.

At the same time, cycling — which is the most efficient form of transportation — and energy efficiency, are by far the cheapest means of addressing a wide range of issues, from climate change, to congestion to high energy prices.Cycling is an Overlooked Solution In fact, even compared to mass transit, cycling requires less road maintenance (and hence taxpayer money), takes up less space, and results in far less emissions and noise.
