Toil and trouble ping.
All I know is every time they switch that SuperCollider on, Biden crashes his car.
The source of gorebull warming and bad TV reception
I like my Quark soup with noodles.
I’d like my Quarks with side order of pions with a supersized order of mesons to go please! And hold the gluons!
So they rigged up a bunch of candy thermometers in tandem?
Seriously how do they KNOW its multitrillion degrees? How can they know its not just 2 trillion or 10t for that matter.
And at that temp, why was their vessel or containment not melted to sludge, even if it lasted just a blink of a second?
Methinks they borrowed the computerr that gave us hockey stick statistics and develoiped a 'model'

sorry for the double post....
because magnetic fields are used for containment.
High temperature does not mean high heat.
For instance: a spark from a sparkler/hand-held firework is perhaps 2000 degrees C in temperature, but if it lands on your hand you won’t feel it.
Whereas if you tipped a bucket of water at the prosaically low temperature of 100 degree C over you, it would put you in hospital.
Yep - I'm more interesting in what the 'wall' was made of...
Until we get a handle on the ‘bottle size’ of time and space at the events depicted ‘in the beginning’, we will not figure out why there is what there is.

The ‘vessel’ was probably the collier itself. If temp follows the inverse-square law, then every unit-of-length would be half the temperature of the previous; therefore if it was a single atom in volume, every atom’s-width would be half the previous temperature and the repeated-squaring the denominator experiences gets REALLY BIG really fast.
I keep wondering when scientist are going to try to figure out was going on a minute before the universe started, and what the cause of Creation was......
yea... what could possibly go wrong with this setup...
Me, too. While they're at it, I'd really like to know what our expanding universe is expanding into. The whole concepts of infinity really bugs me. Yep...I've read up on String Theory, too, and I'm still foggy on things. Mind-boggling stuff...Can't wait for Hadron to fire up...
That's easy--they're gluons, after all.
