Millikan Presents Cosmic Ray Proof Of Annihilation Theory
Dr. Robert A. Millikan told the National Academy of Sciences that new cosmic ray evidence supports the annihilation theory. Balloon experiments extended to near space show energy distribution of cosmic rays from elements destroyed, with carbon nitrogen and oxygen at top, plus sodium silicon and aluminum. Hydrogen and perhaps helium remain abundant, while the sun’s magnetic field blocks their weaker rays from reaching Earth.
