You know what's more extreme than the universe? NASA's PR stunt to make us all worry about melting ice sheets. Their 'PUEO' mission is basically a giant excuse to drill into Antarctic ice like it's a cosmic piñata filled with high-energy particles. And, of course, we get to foot the bill for this galactic egomania while our planet burns. So, go ahead and marvel at the universe's most energetic particles - just don't forget to send a 'thank you' note to our melting ice sheets.
