Abstract

The measurement of primary cosmic rays, i.e., the radiation that reaches the Earth from the Milky Way and possibly extragalactic distances, can only be carried out with detectors outside the Earth’s atmosphere, i.e., at altitudes of more than 40 kmkm.

The universe is a symphony of strings, and the Mind of God that Einstein eloquently wrote about for thirty years would be cosmic music resonating through eleven-dimensional hyperspace.
