This is a short clip of Paul Sorensen describing RHIC physics at a workshop at Brookhaven National Laboratory organized by Alan Alda. Sorensen describes recreating the conditions of the early universe one microsecond after the big bang at the RHIC collider. He discusses phase transitions, and why the matter created in the collisions called quark-gluon plasma is thought to behave like a liquid.

  • One microsecond after the "big bang"? So basically what God has joined together let's tear asunder projects. This man does not know the value of the term "big bang" so he uses this term like a moron or as if trying to cover deeper research in the spiritual research which parallels each physical element. Plutonium bomb = Pluto the equivalent of the Greek god of Hades, ability to open the abyss and unleash death. Hence the films on the plutonium bombs refer to detonations as unleashing the beast.
