Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed At LHC

Posted by timothy on from the particular-particles dept.

Canadian_Daemon writes "A phase of matter created moments after the Big Bang is thought to have been detected at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. 'Striking' evidence of a quark-gluon plasma has been observed by a team of researchers, including Canadians, at the facility near Geneva, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced Friday."

    I'm glad the OP mentioned that Canadians had a hand in this. Otherwise I would have assumed they didn't.

    Canadian observes quark-gluon plasma, then immediately apologizes.

    I have seen this quark-gluon plasma one other time. My, it has been a while. I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade, let alone create one. But there, at that point, we did it. At Black Mesa. We...unleashed...Gordon, you're alive! Thank God for that hazard suit. I'm afraid to move him and all our phones are out. Please get to the surface as soon as you can and let someone know we're stranded down here. You'll need me to access the retinal scanners. I'm sure the rest of the science team will gladly he$EOF

    Canadians tend to be skeptics.

    Oh, I don't know about that.
