Hot Quark Soup Produced at RHIC

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, http://www.bnl.gov/rhic ) is a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator/collider that has been operating at Brookhaven Lab since 2000, delivering collisions of heavy ions, protons, and other particles to an international team of physicists investigating the basic structure and fundamental forces of matter. In 2005, RHIC physicists announced that the matter created in RHICs most energetic collisions behaves like a nearly perfect liquid in that it has extraordinarily low viscosity, or resistance to flow. Since then, the scientists have been taking a closer look at this remarkable form of matter, which last existed some 13 billion years ago, a mere fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists have revelaed new findings, including the first measurement of temperature very early in the collision events, and their implications for the nature of this early-universe matter.

I'm sorry but that's just ridiculous.

Science is the pursuit of truth about how the universe works (things not yet explained). Religion does not attempt to find truth, it fills in the blanks with ignorance and bigotry rooted in superstition.

no I really don't understand. Satan has nothing to do with antimatter. that's not even biblical. there isn't even the slightest suggestion in the bible that Satan will use antimatter or antiparticles in any way shape or form. your just making stuff up because you have a misunderstanding of some sort.

damn thats cool

Religion is stupid, Period.

@ecollazo67 i dont know what religion youre talking about but theres many, and mine does involve science so religion does bring truth n whatsoever

@ecollazo67 How do you know that science has not provided the means to promote lies that replace religious truths, and to encourage people to be unaware of the depths of knowledge the religions have maintained secret depths for ages? The predujice of those who dismiss religion provide a means for their own manipulations by ignorance. It is not scientific to dismiss superstitions. A person who does so fails in observation efforts!

@fasantupp it is a good question in my opinion.

[dakiro222]

@Nerdykid95 But we did not break any laws. It is just discovering and describing them. The laws of physics are not breakable. If they seem so, then it means they are not yet described in enough detail.

to bad youtube can't come up with a 'content' filter to block out haters

Soup...Is there enaugh salt?? Yummy!

Why does every religious douchebag have to start a debate in video's related to pure science? The Inquisition is over guys, just get a grip on reality.
