Ultra-high energy particles come from all kinds of objects in space:
Neutron stars:
" * X-ray burster – a neutron star with a low mass binary companion from which matter is accreted resulting in irregular bursts of energy from the surface of the neutron star.
* Pulsar – general term for neutron stars that emit directed pulses of radiation towards us at regular intervals due to their strong magnetic fields.
* Magnetar – a neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field; some magnetars are observed as soft gamma repeaters."1
Other emitters of ultra-high energy particles are:
Supernovae
"A supernova (pl. supernovae) is a stellar explosion which produces an extremely bright object made of plasma that declines to invisibility over weeks or months. A supernova briefly outshines its entire host galaxy."2
Black holes
"A black hole is an object predicted by general relativity[1] with a gravitational field so strong that nothing can escape it — not even light.
A black hole is defined to be a region of space-time where escape to the outside universe is impossible. The boundary of this region is a surface called the event horizon. This surface is not a physically tangible one, but merely a figurative concept of an imaginary boundary. Nothing can move from inside the event horizon to the outside, even briefly."
So it looks like you get ultra-high energy particles where high energy concentrations impart energy on things which become very highly excited and let off highly energized radiation. I am not an expert on what is included in the definition of "ultra-high energy" particles, but particles with high energies include neutrinos, photons(gamma rays, x-rays) and matter particles (ions as cosmic wind).

Perhaps you mean ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, or cosmic rays of order 10^20 eV in energy. Nobody knows where they come from or even how they can keep going a such a high energy. They should theoretically scatter off the cosmic background radiation and slow down. Astrophysics is still a fertile field for new discoveries.

2 options? this is it? the two it turn into made with the help of God or it turn into made with the help of no longer something? enable's attack the presumption of your argument and enable's say that the universe required a writer, i.e. God. the glaring next question is this: Who/What made God? If we set up that some thing that exists ought to have a maker, then we ought to settle for that God has a maker, and that God's maker has a maker, etc etc till we attain a element the place we ought to declare, "This writer had no writer," or "This writer is self-created," which violates the basis of our argument. So, enable's flow with the theory that the universe got here from no longer something. properly, this is a peculiar and wonderful and counter-intuitive argument to make, isn't it? I advise, some thing won't be able to come from no longer something. no longer in this universe a minimum of. A-HA!! perhaps the actual rules of our universe exist only interior of our universe! What if our universe is a factor of a few thing even grander, a multiverse, that has no commencing up or end because of the fact time is a build of our fact. isn't that a threat as properly? of direction, this is speculative at superb, yet precise now this is in regards to the superb wager that we've. even regardless of the undeniable fact that, we are able to relax assured that the argument that God made the universe is refuted.

Do you mean "Ultra-Energetic" particles?
Most of them are running around from SuperNovae, they are extremely hard to stop and very fast, so they go everywhere. There's bunches of them, solar neutrinos, gamma particles, x-rays and the like.
If that's what you meant...
