Abstract
COSMIC rays are identified as particles accelerated to a speed near to that of light by the gravitational pull of the rest of the universe in the kinematic world model put forward by Prof. E. A. Milne. There is no upper limit to the energy that such a particle may acquire, since it is drawn from that of the whole universe.
