CERN LHC Creates Temperatures 100,000 Times Hotter than the Center of the Sun

CERN LHC Creates Temperatures 100,000 Times Hotter than the Center of the Sun: "Scientists using the world's largest atom smasher have created some of the hottest and densest matter ever achieved on Earth achieving a state of matter called a quark gluon plasma that existed in the milliseconds after the big bang 13.7 billion years ago.

Physicists using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research, smashed heavy lead ions together at close to the speed of light, generating temperatures of more than 1.6 trillion degrees Celsius, 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun."
