The matter, known as a quark-gluon plasma (or QGP), is predicted to exist when temperatures and densities are so extreme that regular matter cannot exist. Instead, a “perfect liquid” exists for a short time before it cools and condenses into the regular stuff that forms the building blocks of matter.
Although physicists have announced the detection of this exotic state of matter before, new results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, in Upton, New York, appear to show the tiniest droplets of quark-gluon plasma appear, in a specific pattern, after colliding helium-3 nuclei with gold ions.
“These tiny droplets of quark-gluon plasma were at first an intriguing surprise,” said Berndt Mueller, Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics at Brookhaven, in a statement. “Physicists initially thought that only the nuclei of large atoms such as gold would have enough matter and energy to set free the quark and gluon building blocks that make up protons and neutrons. But the flow patterns detected by RHIC’s PHENIX (Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment) collaboration in collisions of helium-3 nuclei with gold ions now confirm that these smaller particles are creating tiny samples of perfect liquid QGP.”

Makes a good chip dip. Kind of like nacho cheese.
So is this going to be their latest manifestation of scientists creation of life? A perfect goo!!
The perfect liquid is scotch.
Or a salmon — spawning onto Barack Obama’s tasseled loafers.
I used to think so. Now I stick to iced coffee and Perrier.
“Particle Collider Spits Out Tiny Drops of Primordial Goo”
That happens when you reach puberty.
Laphraoig is my favorite. But most any Islay will do.
It’s a glu-on Jim.
...or a goo-on
I need a tube of that stuff for some home repairs.
Am I the only one who gets nervous hearing about these kinds of experiments?
Run! They’re gonna make a black hole!!!
Long day... Sigh.
And this is supposed to help humanity in what way? Maybe it will explain climate change or why BLM came to be or how to reduce poverty.
[[Am I the only one who gets nervous hearing about these kinds of experiments?]]
Yes, because the ‘building blocks of life’ have been created, but were In such hostile conditions that the building blocks (amino acids’ could not be isolated one from another, and complete chaos and destruction took place- There are right hand and left hand amino acids, and only one kind is needed for life, if the other type is present the two can not coexist together and they are destroyed- that is why the miller experiments failed miserably- only by intelligent design could the right type of amino acids be produced, isolated, AND protected against hostile conditions I n order to bring about life
so, while scientists may find a ‘good goo’ they are an eternity away from figuring out how to intelligently design a system by which the right building blocks for life could be thrown together in a goop under hostile/deadly natural conditions, so that life could slowly ‘evolve’ from single celled organism to multicelled organisms capable of pounding a keyboard and saying something worth listening to- but mind you- once you get past the impossible first steps, you have billions of impossible hurdles to overcome after that- so yeah- no worries- let htem find the ‘perfect goo’
No point running, you’ll just be extruded into your component parts tired.
