Description

I discuss paradoxical situation in detection of the highest energy cosmic rays by Telescope Array and Pierre Auger experiments, in particular, a strong discrepancy between their results for cosmic ray fluxes at energies above the GZK cutoff. I also discuss ideas of new BSM physics and dark matter identity which could naturally resolve these paradoxes.
