YUM! Quark Soup

Brookhaven National lab "produced temperatures of 4 trillion degrees Celsius, 250,000 times hotter than the Sun's interior,,,(producing) a stunning "soup" of quarks and gluons. The analyzed data indicates that record high temperature caused the protons and neutrons of the gold atoms to "melt" into the quarks and gluons that compose them, which then formed a plasma, known as quark gluon plasma (QGP). This appears to be the first time man has been able to make such a quark soup."
