COSMIC ENERGY SOURCE. “Galactic cosmic rays are a steady source of ionizing radiation throughout the Galaxy and beyond. Their secondary component can deposit energy underground; muons especially can penetrate several kilometres underground. It has been shown that Galactic cosmic rays-induced radiolysis is a steady source of energy for subsurface environments and could potentially be a viable source of energy supporting such an ecosystem. Galactic cosmic rays-induced particles can directly interact with the medium with essential nutrients and synthesize basic chemicals vital for life to develop, analogous to the experiments with high-energy protons and ice mixtures.”
