RE: A breakthrough in astrophysics - observation of a first powerful engine to accelerate cosmic rays
Hi @lemouth
...particles emit blue light when they accelerate beyond the speed of light in a given MEDIUM...
This is certainly a great revelation. Please what's the implication of this observation in real life application?

The Cherenkov effect (predicted at the end of the 19th century and observed for the first time in the 1930s) is used in many domains: medical science, nuclear reactors, astrophysics experiments (as here), etc... Plenty of places as you can see!
Ya. Thanks. You really have good knowledge of this
I work with this kind of things. I am somehow used to that by now :)
