... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...

Астрономия и Космос Вселенная Вселенная . ... Однако в последние десятилетия развитие космологии и физики элементарных частиц позволило теоретически рассмотреть и самый начальный, "сверхплотный" период расширения Вселенной . ... Такую стадию расширения назвали инфляционной. ... Гипотеза инфляционной Вселенной отвечает на целый ряд важных вопросов космологии, которые до недавнего времени считались необъяснимыми парадоксами, в частности на вопрос о причине расширения Вселенной. ...
