Scientists Recreate Cosmic ‘Fireballs’ in Lab to Solve Mystery of Missing Gamma Rays
Scientists recreated cosmic plasma beams at CERN to study why certain gamma rays vanish in space. The results showed the beams remain stable, suggesting ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, not beam collapse, hide the signals. The discovery provides new insight into cosmic jets and the universe’s earliest magnetic traces.
