Peruvian Mountain Becomes Giant Particle Detector
Deep canyons in the Andes serve as natural shields for detecting ultra-high-energy cosmic particles that could prove gravity is quantum.
Key Takeaways
- Deep Andean canyons serve as natural filters for ultra-high-energy cosmic particles
- Could provide first experimental evidence of quantum gravity effects
- Prototype stations already deployed and detecting cosmic ray events
