It happened. We’re gone.
This is all just an after-image.
The fading will start in the next few days.
You’ll feel a little light-headed at first but then...
...then, nothing.

The reaction created temperatures a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun, which have not been reached since the first billionths of a second following the Big Bang. Which they know for certain, of course, even though they cannot predict tomorrow's weather with certainty.

Aside from wanting to see video of these experiments, can it make breakfast?

What kind of thermometer measures 10 trillion degrees?

So is it up to full power or is there a ways to go?

"This process took place in a safe, controlled environment generating incredibly hot and dense subatomic fireballs with temperatures of over ten trillion degrees a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun."How is this even possible? Does this mean we've created a metal that withstands the heat of the sun, or greater? I would think these kinds of temperatures would have melted the entire collider.

Were they able to create matter out of nothing? If not, then it wasn’t a “mini big-bang”.

It wasn’t that lagre! ;-P

Temperature is not an instantaneous thing. High temps for very short times is containable.

Very VERY small center of location for the reaction. Very VERY short time frame.
It would be there and gone before the materials had a chance to melt.
A magnetic bottle (an area surrounded by a magnetic field) around the point of the explosion would also help contain the heat.

Heat and temperature are different things.
You are routinely struck by cosmic ray particles with an effective temperature in the millions of degrees C.
But a single photon carries so little heat, so little energy that you simply didn’t notice.
