High-energy particle beams? I searched my memory for this physics term. Cosmic rays are high-energy particle beams, capable of penetrating solids, originating from vast and distant celestial bodies. How could Earth produce high-energy particle beams? I’ve never heard of it; it shouldn’t be possible. Mysterious Visitor (2)
Wait, December 26th, that’s…
“The same day as the tsunami? The Sunda Trench is…”
“The Sunda Trench was the epicenter of the earthquake that caused the tsunami. That beam of high-energy particles was generated less than a minute before the earthquake occurred. However,” Liang Yingwu showed a hint of confusion: “At this stage, humans can only produce particle beams using high-energy particle colliders, and the energy of those lab-created particle beams is far less than what we detected.”
“So, the high-energy particle beam wasn’t produced by Earth?”
“There’s no natural condition on Earth that can produce such a particle beam. Conversely, the arrangement and spacing of the particles in this beam are quite unnatural.”
“Unnatural? What does that mean, how so?”
“Are the trees in Suzhou gardens natural?”
“They’re trimmed by gardeners every day, so of course not.” I understood Liang Yingwu was using an analogy to explain to a layman like me.
“Are you saying this high-energy particle beam signifies some kind of intention?”
“At the current stage of science, we can’t explain how Earth could produce such a high-energy particle beam. If we use the process of elimination, then this high-energy particle beam must be artificially produced, which naturally implies some kind of intention.”
“What intention is that?”
