===High energy, but far below the Planck scale=== While the particle's energy was higher than anything achieved in terrestrial accelerators, it was still about 40 million times ''lower'' than the [[Planck energy]] ({{val|1.2208901|e=28|u=eV}}). Particles of that energy would be required in order to expose effects on the [[Planck scale]]. A proton with that much energy would travel {{val|1.665|e=15}} times closer to the speed of light than the Oh-My-God particle did. As viewed from Earth and observed in Earth's reference frame, it would take about {{val|3.579|e=20|u=years}} ({{val|2.59|e=10}} times the current [[age of the universe]]) for a photon to overtake a Planck energy proton with a 1 cm lead.{{citation needed |date=March 2020}}
