Survivalists in Florida

May 19, 2012 – 11:49 pm | One Comment

Great article in the Miami New Times last week, profiling preppers and survivalists like these folk:
Jorge Villa – after a terrifying experience during Hurricane Andrew he devised his own bunkers, and sells them to folk – some of whom are worried about the end of the Mayan calendar – via his business U.S. Bunkers
Neal Wiseman – moderates a group called the South Florida Survivalist Network, and has a year’s worth of food stored for his family, should the need arise:

Chris Petrovich – prepper for 25 years. He has helped others “cache extra fuel and food, stashed in public-storage units and underground, at intervals on an 800-to-1,200-mile path out of Florida. Amid darkness and chaos, skirting burning sugarcane fields and accidents and roadblocks, they’ll drive from cache to cache toward a secret inland hiding spot, exhausting the last available remnants of the petroleum age.”
While Petrovich himself plans on staying, I agree with …

Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays – Local Origin?

Submitted by Robert Bast on November 19, 2008 – 9:43 pmNo Comment

Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are the fastest moving objects ever found. If a ray of light travels through a void for 300 million years, and an UHECR travels on the same journey, light will get there a mere microsecond quicker.

Given the density of microwave radiation thought to fill the voids of space, scientists have been puzzled as to how the UHECRs are hitting Earth at full speed, without being slowed down by radiation (or anything else in their way).

According to Scientific American (April 2008, pages 14-15), the world’s largest array of cosmic ray detectors in Argentina has discovered that most UHECRs are coming from nearby galaxies. Strangely none are coming from the Virgo cluster of galaxies, only 60 million light years away.

One of the possible explanations is that super-massive black holes in Virgo are lacking the power of those in other nearby galaxies.

As usual, the super-massive black hole at the center of our own galaxy, and the capacity it may have to bombard us with cosmic rays, is not mentioned.
