Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed at LHC

[furrbear]

"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."

This is very exciting! I'm glad the LHC is finally getting down to some serious scientific discovery.

I'm tired of top and bottom, I want strangeness and charm.

Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.

Thanks for this. I missed the announcement. This is wonderful news.

I can see why there was little press about it.

Yeah, it was them foreigners at CERN. The US is doing everything in its power to regress into a 3rd world power.

Of course, an alternate view, is that news editors didn't want Candy Sue Spokesanchor to misspeak and utter "Large Hardon Collider".
