Cosmic Rays Only Thing Immortal (Jan, 1932)
Cosmic Rays Only Thing Immortal
NEITHER stars nor worlds, sunlight or heavens, can science admit to be eternal. Only one thing known to science can be called immortal—the cosmic rays investigated, among others, by the famous California physicist, Dr. R. A. Millikan. These rays may even be relics of days before there existed any universe as we know it now.

In later life, like some other elderly scientists, he went a bit strange, and decided that cosmic rays were (a) photons and (b) the “birth cries of atoms…

Evidence of God’s atomic production line remains lacking. We also have solid evidence that cosmic rays are charged particles, not photons.

All kidding aside those were some excellent links. Just as in the case with Shockley a Nobel Prize doesn’t mean someone is an all around genius. I mean, arguing for the ether and throwing down with Einstein over the photoelectric effect? And of course he was into eugenics!
They’re mostly protons, with some gamma photons thrown in.
