according to the theory of relativity,

relative to the Oh-My-God particle, I had a velocity of 0,999 999 999 999 999 999 999 995 1 c

which means I had almost infinite kinetic energy

yes
what's your point?

48 Joules = near infinite?

>> No.8030032

>>8029991

theory of relativity sounds like BS

60 kgs at 0,999 999 999 999 999 999 999 995 1 c isn't 48 joules

The Oh-My-God particle was a single proton in other words,"with a kinetic energy of 48 joules, equivalent to a 5-ounce (142 g) baseball travelling at about 93.6 kilometers per hour (60 mph)."

So being hit with this single proton would be like being hit by a 60-mph baseball?

If you could somehow stop, sure, but actually it would just pass right through you.

Yes. But when it was detected, it evidently actually collided with something. If that something happened to be you...

E = hv

The amount of energy in light is right there. It only depends on frequency since h is constant. The higher the frequency, the more energy it's got.

When a proton hits a material it will quickly lose most of it's energy to secondary electron emission. If these electrons have enough energy, they'll likely lose it through bremsstrahlung. There's a ton of different ways that the proton energy can be distributed through the particles it interacts with to ultimately form light that we register, and all of these ways have a very specific signature.
