How do you dissipate 7.2 trillion degrees? The amount of mass involved was miniscule, the specific heat of a gluon quark mixture is a little hard to calculate (I'm not sure how many degrees of freedom are involved) but if we assume it's about the same as the original nucleus, one mole of gold is 6 x 10^23 atoms ~ 200 grams, so there was enough energy to raise the temperature of 200 grams, about half a pound, of gold, by about 10^-11 degrees (7.2 x 10^12 / 6 x 10^23) Celcius. Approximately equal to the amount of CO2 induced global warming since 1900.

“Approximately equal to the amount of CO2 induced global warming since 1900.”
LOL! Good one!
