Scientists in Europe have recreated a “tiny” version of what the universe might have looked like right after the Big Bang, using two of the smallest atoms in existence. Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe is believed to have consisted of an extremely hot “soup” of particles known as quark-gluon plasma. Until recently, physicists believed that this material was created by the collision of heavy atoms, such as lead. However, researchers a…

The Big Bang, although theoretically we have many speculations about how it happened, we will never be able to observe it directly. What we can do, however, is to recreate it, so that we can study it. This is what they seem to have wanted to do at CERN and they succeeded. What the theory states is that […] The post Scientists created “a small Big Bang” with oxygen and neon appeared first on Techmaniacs.

An unusual physical experiment at the particle accelerator sheds new light on the state of matter immediately after the Big Bang. The observed breaks with established assumptions of physics and provides an unexpected finding. read more on t3n.de

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute in the Netherlands have succeeded in using oxygen-16 and neon-20, which are a fraction of the size of lead, and have caused them to collide with each other at almost the speed of light
