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 projectile’s 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 Universe’s 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...)

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 percent of scientists except “the Big Bang theory” as absolute ?

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

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

“Scientists believe that quark-gluon plasma filled the entire Universe during the first few microseconds after the Big Bang”

OK physics students, please answer me this:

1. How did these particles inhabit 10s of billion of light years, perhaps infinite light years of cubic space, from a single point, in a few microseconds? or...
2. Is the universe bounded by the extent of matter from the big bang, and is expanding as a result of that explosion of matter?

Did Einstein address this?
