Scientists have located two unusual events of entering and exiting the Earth

Geologists and physicists in the USA believe that they have discovered signs of the entry and exit of extremely dense, strange bodies into the Earth. The evidence for this was collected from an analysis of records made at earthquake measuring stations scattered around the world. The records show a series of earthquakes - with an entry point and an exit point of a mass of material that came from the universe.
The two events were found from an analysis of more than a million records made at the stations and both refer to the months of October November 1993. If the measurements are verified and if other events of the same type are discovered, then it will become clear that there is indeed "strange" material in the universe.
Physicists think that in the Big Bang types of matter were created, the likes of which have never been discovered or measured on Earth. The smallest particles that make up normal matter on Earth are called "quarks". But those in the "strange matter" have some properties that are completely different from those of the normal particles.
For example - the amount of their electric charge is not a whole number but 1/3 or 2/3 of the positive or negative charge. Another feature - a kind of directionality. The directions are defined only in "up" and "down" (not to the sides).
Another feature - "strangeness". It has no equivalent in the "big world" in which we live. It manifests itself only in the world of tiny particles. If two quarks (or three) connect - "normal" particles are created. For example - proton and neutron. But in the strange matter they are made up of three quarks, with the proton consisting of two quarks pointing up and one down; And the neutron - changes one down and one up.
Normally, the researchers believe, combinations of many quarks cannot exist. Theoretical calculations now show that when "strange" quarks are added, stable concentrations of many quarks can be built. These can concentrate a large mass but in a very small volume, because the density of the quark matter is like the density of the nuclear matter: about a hundred million-million grams per 1 cmXNUMX. Therefore, the size of such a mass of material that weighs only one ton, must be the size of a red blood cell.
It is possible that particles of matter of the strange type were created during the big bang and since then they have been floating in the universe and are part of what is known as the "dark matter" (or the dark mass). Scientists think that dark matter exists in galaxies, galaxy clusters, and large regions of the universe. It manifests itself only in its gravity. It is not noticed by direct observation.
If it turns out that this is the case, it will be necessary to expect that such lumps of matter do arrive from space to Earth - although not with great frequency.
The researchers looked for signs of this in a series of small and weak earthquakes, recorded at more than six earthquake recording stations.
And it is true that two events were found, in 1993, which were recorded at seven-nine seismic stations. They indicate the entry and exit of clumps of strange matter. One event occurred on October 22, 1993 when the entry of the mass of material that came from space occurred near the coast of Antarctica, and its exit - south of India, 0.24 seconds later.
The second event was on November 24, 1993. The entry was south of Australia, and the exit - near Antarctica, after about 0.15 seconds.
In a normal earthquake, the speed of sound is approximately 1 km per second. In these special events, the speed of the material that entered the earth and left it was (by calculation) hundreds of kilometers per second. This speed corresponds to matter in equilibrium in the gravitational field of the Milky Way.
