Description
I will show that the recently-discovered Fermi Bubbles are naturally explained as due to
a population of relic cosmic ray protons and heavier ions injected by processes
associated with sustained, extremely long timescale and high areal density star-
formation in the Galactic center. In our picture, the Bubbles are essentially calorimetric
recordings of Galactic centre activity over the last few billion years.
