The high-speed cosmic particles, packed with destructive energy and dangerous for tomorrow's rocketeers, may have wandered into the earth's galaxy from the far reaches of space, said Dr. Fermi. Geologic ages ago, they drifted into the weak, galactic magnetic field. And weak though that field is, it has had millions of years to kick the particles up to a dangerous speed.
