so... it's watery all the way down, LOI ;)

This simulation was run/demonstrated on wildly inaccurate base-offsets. I've already submitted three corrective lemures related to this 'work'.

So, what exactly is quark-gluon plasma? Just a bunch of quarks and gluons? Would you, "theoretically", be able to grab out a gluon and isolate it? Sorry for my incredibly stupid question, I'm a complete layman.

[RandomDetritus]

This is wild stuff.

Shouldnt it be a metal if the density is high enough temperature low enough? It seems like it would superconduct color charge like a metal does electricity

wasn't liquid ffs was solid, then liquid crystal, THEN liquid, then gluon/quark stasis

[sgentlemanjack112]

GEEE sounds like GENESIS!!!!

[CCOURTNEY1001]

YES OCC, another thing that the elites are going to use to deplete the universe along with lithium, prozack and sodium in water? or beaming 30 billion plus levels of radiation into the air by HAARP, or brain deteriating vaccinations? no but this takes the cake occ....a cubic cm of this plasma weighs 40 billion tons and is a pre curser to a black hole....yes!!!! thumbs up b deplete the human race

@ahsonk haha yea he pisses excellence

@silverpizza100

RHIC fool (they even call it by its name the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider)

Well so?? Why is so much very useful information suppressed. Tell us if gravity has an effect on it. Did it smash back into itself or did it just expand into what appears to be infinity?

Then read a book, do a little research and find out for your self
