LHC Unveils Primordial Soup: Early Universe Fluidity
What the Large Hadron Collider Reveals About the Early Universe For decades, physicists have sought a window into the first microseconds after the Big Bang. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, now offers a surprising glimpse into that era. New analyses indicate that the primordial soup that filled…

LHC Quark-Gluon Plasma: Primordial Soup Was Soupy
Intro: A New Picture of the Big Bang’s First Moments Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have peeled back another layer of the universe’s oldest mystery. By recreating fleeting, ultra-hot conditions that existed just after the Big Bang, scientists observed that the primordial quark-gluon plasma — the searingly hot mix of fundamental particles that…

LHC Finds Primordial Soup Was Surprisingly Soupy, Shaping Our View of the Early Universe
The Primordial Soup and the Big Bang For decades, physicists have explored the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) — a state of matter thought to resemble the universe in its first microseconds after the Big Bang. At trillion-degree temperatures, protons and neutrons melt away, freeing quarks and gluons to form a hot, dense soup. The Large Hadron…
