If collisions between small projectiles protons (p), deuterons (d), and helium-3 nuclei (3He)
and gold nuclei (Au) create tiny hot spots of quark-gluon plasma, the pattern of particles picked up
by the detector should retain some memory of each projectiles initial shape. Measurements from
the PHENIX experiment match these predictions with very strong correlations between the initial
geometry and the final flow patterns. Image credit: Javier Orjuela Koop, University of Colorado,

Scientists believe that quark-gluon plasma filled the entire Universe during the first few microseconds after the Big Bang.... And the 'universe' was how big? The size of a coconut?..............

I entered "quark-gluon plasma droplets" into Amazon search and nothing came up.
Bad marketing..

The payoff from the experiments:
“The results, published in the journal Nature Physics, could help theorists better understand how the Universes original quark-gluon plasma cooled over milliseconds, giving birth to the first atoms in existence.”
Getting closer to the hand of God in all of this. (Leftist/atheist brain explosions in 3, 2, 1...)

Dang, I’m surprised you didn’t get a sponsored ad saying “Black Friday sale on your quark-gluon plasma droplets!”
To: G Larry
That’s because they are marketed under the trade name “Ricola”

Scientists set up the experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
So there must have been a scientist setting up the original experiment, when the universe was just coming into being.

What if our knowledge of what happened is what caused it to happen?

What percent of scientists except the Big Bang theory as absolute ? Nothing in science is absolute, but a quick check on Google says that 99.9 percent of members of the National Academies of Sciences accept the theory.
In the meantime, one in four Americans believe the sun goes around the earth, and we have enthusiastic flat earthers right here on FR. Make of that what you will.

I was really worried that they wouldn’t be able to make those Quark-Gluon Plasma Droplets. I feel better now.

Well, if they accepted the Big Bang Theory as a fact, it wouldn’t be a Theory.
AS no one saw it happen, then the best we can say is that it “probably happened this way”.
As it stands, all we do know is that the local universe went from smaller to bigger. We can take good guesses as to what happened when it was really small, but, there comes a point where it’s all a good guess.

Yep..its a good guess.
Which I am okay with that.
Anyhow, have read other theories..including it wasn’t a “bang” at all.

I think Quark-Gluon Plasma Droplets was some type of penny candy I used to buy as a kid in the 70’s.
