Ah, so I didn't recall correctly. The dictionary says "high energy
atomic nuclei"- are they the result of supernovae?
To bring this back on topic, how does that affect the discusion I was
apllyng them to? That being, radition in space is diffrent enough to be
the cause of "space madness" for mages, and terrestrial radiation might
be responsible for similar effects in fovae and also realted to
background count?
