Physicists just saw quarks make waves in the Big Bang’s primordial soup
Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have observed the behavior of quark-gluon plasma, the primordial matter of the universe. The scientists tracked individual quarks as they interacted with the plasma and saw them create ripples and splashes like a moving object in water. This finding suggests that the primordial soup behaves like a dense fluid.
Why it's good news: It provides new insights into the behavior of matter at the most fundamental level, helping us better understand the origins of our universe.
