Doesn't really make sense to speak of wavelengths at these energies any more. For all intents and purposes, these are particles.
The energies we detect go into the hundreds of TeVs and charged cosmic rays have been detected to much, much higher energies.
- kace91 7y agothe transition/duality of particles and waves is something that, despite having heard about it many times, I'm still unable to grasp intuitively
- sathackr 7y agoI'm still not grasping it either, to the point that I feel we may eventually learn they are neither, something else that looks to us sometimes like a particle and sometimes like a wave.
- maxnoe 7y agoWe already did learn that. QED describes a photon perfectly mathematically. There is just now word that maps that to ordinary terms.
