    Speed

    It is not known what kind of particle it was, but most cosmic rays are protons. If is the rest mass of the particle and is its kinetic energy (energy above the rest mass energy), then its speed was times the speed of light. Assumin… See more

    Collision energy

    The energy of the particle was some 40 million times that of the highest-energy protons that have been produced in any terrestrial particle accelerator. However, only a small fraction of this energy was available for … See more

    Comparisons

    The Oh-My-God particle's energy was estimated as (3.2±0.9)×10 eV, or 51±14 J. Although this amount is phenomenally large for a single elementary particle – far outstripping the highest energy that human technology … See more

    Later similar events

    Since the first observation, hundreds of similar events (energy 5.7×10 eV or greater) have been recorded, confirming the phenomenon. These ultra-high-energy cosmic ray particles are very rare; the energy of … See more
