DIFT Colloquium.
Álvaro De Rújula (CERN & IFT UAM/CSIC).
Abstract:
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and Cosmic Rays (CRs) are not difficult to comprehend. Quasars and micro-quasars are seen to emit highly relativistic “Cannonballs” (CBs), though the underlying mechanism remains unfathomable. The observation that core-collapse supernovae also emit CBs — plus some trivial relativistic kinematics — provides a successful understanding of GRBs and CRs. The self-defined “official experts” on these fields resist the evidence, in an explicitly inquisitorial way.
