If you average in that 4 trillion degrees with the temperature of 1,000 other places on Earth, you can see that the average temperature of the Earth increased by 4 billion degrees.

They used a giant atom smasher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York to knock gold ions together to make the ultra-hot explosions -- which lasted only for milliseconds.Milliseconds ??? You might as well say they lasted only for centuries.
OK, now somebody tell me they actually did last for milliseconds. What do I know?

But that is enough to give physicists fodder for years of study that they hope will help them understand why and how the universe formed.When I read things like that I wonder if these people just make stuff up to get grants.

“That temperature is hot enough to melt protons and neutrons,”
I’m not sure “melt” is the right word in this context.
To: GL of Sector 2814
Wow! That’s even hotter than the center of the Earth. /Algore mode

Im not sure melt is the right word in this context. It's probably safe to say that the concept is being dumbed dow...um, simplified, for the masses.

I got the feeling that the author didn’t have a clue regarding the subject to which she had been assigned. The way she was throwing around terms like “millisecond” and “microsecond” - I’m not certain if she knew that these words have actual, unambiguously defined meanings.

Let’s toss “picosecond” out there and see how she reacts...

Bereshith bara Elohim... Had to google that. I recognized the word "Elohim", but not the rest.

“It’s probably safe to say that the concept is being dumbed dow...um, simplified, for the masses.”
I guess they pushed simplification a little harder than I would have. “Flies apart into little tiny pieces” would maybe be closer, if still misleading. “And then something really weird happens that we only understand a little . . . “ might be even closer.
