Tiny cosmic particles can cause planes to free-fall, freeze computers and can even change the outcome of elections, scientists say

Tiny cosmic particles can have serious impacts on Earth, causing election votes to be miscounted, planes to free-fall and computers to reboot, scientists say.

These cosmic particles can hit electronic devices on Earth, which can cause components to burn out and cause malfunctions.

Cosmic particles come from cosmic rays from outside our solar system. They crash into the Earth's atmosphere creating a range of particles, including protons, electrons, X-rays and gamma-rays that can penetrate aircraft.

These cosmic particles constantly hit Earth, and can cause bits of information in electronics to change.

More reason to use paper ballots.

They are immune from cosmic rays.

For example, in 2003 in the town of Schaerbeek in Belgium, an SEU malfunction gave a candidate in a location election 4,096 additional votes - and the error was only caught because the candidate got more than was possible, so it was investigated.


not human error.

But trying to prevent this problem is very difficult - as it would require a wall of concrete more than three metres (10 feet) thick to stop the particles.

So Professor Bhuva suggests making a computer processor in triplicate as a safety back up.

This is the same system that NASA uses for their computers in space.

The probability that SEUs will occur in two of the circuits at the same time is vanishingly small,’ Professor Bhuva said.

‘So if two circuits produce the same result it should be correct,’ he said.

And please make EVERYONE show ID before they cast a vote.

"These changes can be enough to cause a computer to freeze and reboot, affecting the outcome of computerized elections."

Let me guess. Since 2020, these events are happening every two years.....

Tiny particles known a DEMONRAT scum-ions- which completely change the binary code of any and all voting machine registers to reverse ALL republican candidate votes to the opposition— always for the rotten to the core demoncrats.

This is some kinda cosmic debris “science” right up their with “climate change” that is always.... global warming— when in fact we are heading into another 200 year mini-ice age. JUST as the National Geographic magazine in the late 70’s was predicting... then! Why- well if one held most of the stored energy in the world needed for heating— that is to say petroleum raw and processed, you THEN could set whatever price you want and gouge the living hell out of the people who can least afford it... right alongside those who can afford it, but will be ripped off right in their faces, who will also lose their “investment” in “renewable energy” which will NOT be renewed by the systems falling apart to do so (batteries, windmills, crappy chi-com fall apart solar panels.. and all the tax credits for ALL of these ripping off the rest of the people from properly funding our US government in crucial areas— like Defense. Learn Mandarin and Cantonese, and how to kow-tow to the Han Dynasty chi-coms— if this cannot be stopped cold. Punny honey.

Like ... man ... they can even change chromosomes from X to Y. And then back from Y to X.
The can even make poop taste like peanut butter. And the reverse too (if logic still works).;->

It should be absolutely criminal to use any voting system other than paper ballots. What is the rationale for why voting must be electronic, anyway?

Paper ballots are a given but also paper tally of the votes. paper books have been working for centuries.

Democrat cheating is the more likely explanation.

funny- read your post as an “SEIU” error as in “Service Employees International Union”-— the people who STAFFED and supported the steal in Fulton County, GA and nearly every precinct in Pennsylvania that did, as well as nearly all of Arizona’s “questionable” impossible precinct vote- many more votes than legit voters per precinct. Ballot stuffing AND digital fakiry through Spain (SCYTYL vote counting Co- and return trillions of bytes to the 6 Electoral vote states Trump was clearly winning— bang...zoom! Zip.)

I worry more about democrat election workers twiddling those bits rather than random particles from space.
