The described impact of one of those particles got me thinking… I wonder how many “ghostly” encounters have been recorded in history that could be attributed to one of these particles actually hitting someone? I’ve seen several things on TV where the recorded sensation was like being punched in the gut, or ‘god’ tapping someone on the shoulder and driving them forward. However I’m a bit confused from the article – I’m not sure if this particle would travel right through you since it’s subatomic, or if it would actually feel like something hit you. Still, it’s fun to ponder.
