All I know is every time they switch that SuperCollider on, Biden crashes his car.

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?

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......

establish that collisions of gold ions traveling at nearly the speed of light have created matter at a temperature of about 4 trillion degrees Celsius — the hottest temperature ever reached in a laboratory, about 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun

yea... what could possibly go wrong with this setup...

Thanks decimon. Makes me think of the Marx Bros.

4 Trillion (4.0 x 10e13) degrees is pretty hot, sure, but it is really nothing compared to the Planck temperature of 1.4 x 10e32 degrees K.

and the quoted temperature is reached, in less time than it takes light to travel across a single proton.

////////////
and how fast is that as a percentage of speed of light...anybody know?
