Would it not be a good idea to edit the title to 'Cosmic' ?

Dear grandepittore Victor Hess demonstrated from a high-altitude balloon the existence of Cosmic Rays so Sir Arnold gave a talk celebrating 100 years since the discovery of Cosmic Rays. In the Universe or COSMOS we have matter, dark matter, dark energy, photons of electromagnetic radiation and part of ordinary matter (5% of the Cosmos) are COSMIC RAYS. Some Cosmic Rays have energies of 10 to power 21 electron volts - 100 million times more energy than the CERN LHC!
