Royal Society


Went to an excellent lecture today by Sir Arnold Wolfendale (ex astronomer royal) at the Royal Society on Cosmic Rays. They were discovered 100 years ago by Victor Hess by flying high in a ballon. You can see them standing next to a 'bubble chamber'. A bit eerie that these thing whizz through us all the time.
