RHIC Collider Creates Quark-Gluon Plasma at 4,000,000,000,000 Degrees Celsius

In science articles, "we" use the Centigrade temperature scale. Not Celsius, and definitely NEVER Fahrenheit.

But MIXING the two in a single article? Unforgivable!

Goodbye boson-higgs goodbye standard model hello bubble theory. This could even dispute dark energy, dark matter, dark force. All those were just used to get the math to balance out, none have been seen in the lab yet. It could very well mean we’re living in a special area of space-time and other areas of varying conditions obey different laws. It must be a really interesting time to be an astrophysicist right now. Of course some of those guys are gonna have a hard time just walking away from a lifetime of theory.

my pants need a stimulus check

How does one even measure temperatures that high? I mean, seriously...is the temperature really 7.2 trillion degrees F or did a scientist just say, "Who the heck would know the difference between really, really hot, and really, really, really, really hot?"

i just had a thought. what if the LHC or the RHIC could smash 2 particles... create a mini big bang... which creates a mini universe with ultra mini galaxies which creates ultra ultra mini solar systems with mini living planets... there'd be no way to see the inhabitants of those mini planets and no way for them to communicate with their maker.

My thoughts cease to move towards the application of that plasma. Possibly it could be used to dispose of the tons of pounds of nuclear waste. The heat or temperture needed to strip uranium of radioactivity is extremeply high but itcan in plasma. If this can help with the prosess of creating more nuclear power plants thus the waste being disposed of instead of sitting in a bunker in a mountain.

SpeedyGonB- seriously, the amount of time and energy it would take to even dispose of one pound of nuclear material in this fashion would be so cost prohibitive that it would never even be considered. However, there was an article on here about a week or two ago that talked about a new matrix that could be made to trap the cesium atoms in nuclear waste. That is a much much much more viable option than trying to run tons of nuclear waste through the RHIC.

popular scientist: Centigrade and Celsius is the same thing.
there are 4 units for measuring heat.
-Celsius
-Kelvin
-Fahrenheit
-Rankine
Kelvin and Rankine share the same zero but increase at a different scale.
1 Kelvin is one degree Celsius hotter than absolute zero whereas
1 Rankine is one degree Fahrenheit hotter than absolute zero.
just thought i would clarify on that.

ekisom just made one of the best comments I've ever read. That is cool, interesting, and hilarious. Good Job.

Dude, heat cannot be measured with those units.

Use units like joule, calorie, or BTU to measure heat.

Oh no, I've made another un-clever correction to a funny comment!

While I'm at it, Centigrade and Celsius are not the same. Celsius is a currently used unit, and Centigrade is an obsolete term.

Dear Ekisom,
If by chance we were able to produce a "mini big bang," the resulting universe would only exists within our own universe for a moment. This new universe would expand, as all new universes do, and exists as its own universe within a dimension we can not see.

natasha,
Or... what if the fraction of the nanosecond that those particles exists in our galaxy is trillions of relative years in their galaxy. I love thinking about these ridiculous possibilities.

Sure, we the LHC might overcome the Higgs field. But who says there isn't another field after that, then another, then another...

NO WAY! You mean to tell me that our laws of physics could be wrong? Every year it seems there is at least one or two new discoveries that don't follow the laws of physics.

I am so glad that the differences in temperature scales and units of heat have been clarified. It would be very confusing for the 911 operator if a universe suddenly expanded in my kitchen. In comment posts, "we" mix terms in a single post for people like you frequently. Forgive me!

7.2 trillion degrees...who measured it? how? and where does the heat go? I would address this question to my maker but i can't seem to get hold of him.

LOL dudefrometheW!!! (Licks & then holds index finger in the air making SSSsssss. sound) LOLOL

Hey ekisom.... your getting to close to the truth bro,LOL be careful..Sharing is good ,but some of them are not ready!

Oh yea by the way, way off the subject... ZATOICHI IS ON HULU NOW <>>OMG!!!

4.000.000.000.000 dregrees celsius??? That's puuh...that's warm^^ Really amazing!

Do you think you're thinking about doing a follow-up posting about this? Will you be going to keep bringing up-to-date as well?tax accounting|Weight Loss Women|route city

It is impossible to measure it. at that temperature it is useless to hope.
How do they store it?
I will tell about this story to all my website design team

A very interesting read... but I have to say that unless there is some way to accurately measure what occurred in the epicentre of the collision then we will never know these new and unique nature mechanics. One day I hope they can measure the occurrences with great accuracy.

Among other things, the group announced it had succeeded in measuring the temperature of the quark-gluon plasma as 4 trillion degrees Celsius, “by far the hottest matter ever made,” Dr. Vigdor said. That is 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun and well above the temperature at which theorists calculate that protons and neutrons should melt, but the quark-gluon plasma does not act the way theorists had predicted.

I wonder how the scientists know that matter outnumber antimatter in the universe.Can thay (and if so how) see if far awy galaxy is made up by matter or antimatter.
The answer is probably quit obvious. I don't see that antimatter would necessary reflect Electromagnetic radiation in a different way than matter if that is the way
they know.

Pretty awesome! Hard to imagine something this hot.Would be cool with some more info on this like how long did they maintain this temperature, a micro second or what? Isn't the term laws of physics did not apply a bit of.I mean if a particle always acts this way when a high temperature enviroment?

Does this mean I'm going to have to stop giving plasma? I kind of need that extra money....don't let me down on this one science! I love you but you're taking away my side money!!! :)

Oh yea also is this going to make my health insurance go down? I mean after all this is another step in modern medicine. In my opinion the more we are able to cure diseases, and live longer. The cheaper our insurance should be. Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm crazy. This is just what I think.

If someone can have such an immediate and violent reaction to electromagnetic radiation it should be trivial to prove whether it is even possible. In the best case, EHS sufferers require psychiatric help, in the worst case they are committing fraud.

If Sweden is the only country to recognize EHS as a disorder they should pay for a trip, in a Faraday cage, for one of EHS sufferer to visit the James Randi Educational Foundation (not-for-profit organization founded in 1996)

That is just a ridiculous temperature. How is it measured?

This may even dispute darkish energy, dark matter, dark pressure. All those had been used just to find the math to balance out, not one result within the lab however. This would likely mean we’re living in a unique area of space-time and the areas associated with varying conditions obey various laws and regulations. It must be a really fascinating time to end up being a good astrophysicist at this time. Obviously some of those guys tend to be going to have a problem simply walking away from an entire life associated with theory.

It is now thought that the plasma would have to be a million times more energetic to become a perfect gas. That is beyond the reach of any conceivable laboratory experiment, but the experiments colliding lead nuclei in the Large Hadron Collider outside Geneva next winter should reach energies high enough to see some evolution from a liquid to a gas.

LHC creates mini big bangs and incredible heat.
The world's largest particle smasher - the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, near Geneva in Switzerland - has seen the highest temperatures ever produced by a science experiment, thanks to a flurry of "mini big bangs".

Now this is really playing god. To create something 250,000 times hotter than the center of the sun is just to hot for most of use to even imagine and surely it is unfeasible to begin to measure these type of temperatures.

4.000.000.000.000 degrees oh my god, the Big Bang Is a model of the origin and evolution of the universe in a cosmology course. Has been supported by scientific evidence and observations from many different scientists generally use this term for the concept of expansion of the universe. After the initial conditions, both hot and very crowded during the limited period of time in the past and continues to expand today.
How will the world ?

An international team of scientists studying high-energy collisions of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator located at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has published evidence of the most massive antinucleus discovered to date. The new antinucleus, discovered at RHIC’s STAR detector, is a negatively charged state of antimatter containing an antiproton, an antineutron, and an anti-Lambda particle. It is also the first antinucleus containing an anti-strange quark. The results will be published online by Science Express on March 4, 2010.

Great Post with Excellent idea I appreciate you Keep it up!

I think the best point here is where it's said that the physical laws of the universe don't hold true everywhere. I've always anecdotaly assumed that the universe works like countries.

http://www.SearchHomesOrlando.com

My assumption works like this: Most countries have similar rules to each other, but they all handle things slightly different. Like how murder is universally unaccepted. Matter can't be destroyed. But some places are cool with drugs. Maybe gravity and antimatter are vixens that can bend their rules based on locality.

"By better understanding how the laws of physics shifted as the universe cooled and expanded, this could begin to explain a number of questions about the nature of the universe that remain a mystery." I couldn't have said it any better...
