CERN: “LHC Recreates the Universe Billionths of a Second After the Big Bang”
Researchers have recreated the universe’s primordial soup in miniature format by colliding lead atoms with extremely high energy in the 27 km long particle accelerator, the LHC at CERN in Geneva. The primordial soup is a so-called quark-gluon plasma (above) and researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, have measured its liquid properties with great accuracy at the LHC’s … Continue reading
