Densest Matter Created in Big-Bang Machine..LHC

A superhot substance recently made in the Large Hadron Collider (pictures) is the densest form of matter ever observed, scientists announced this week.
Known as a quark-gluon plasma, the primordial state of matter may be what the entire universe was like in the immediate aftermath of the big bang.

The exotic material is more than a hundred thousand times hotter than the inside of the sun and is denser than a neutron star, one of the densest known objects in the universe.

"Besides black holes, there's nothing denser than what we're creating," said David Evans, a physicist at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. and a team leader for the LHC's ALICE detector, which helped observe the quark-gluon plasma.

"If you had a cubic centimeter of this stuff, it would weigh 40 billion tons."

1. now we know what's in the heads of most rebuelickans....

the densest material ever observed

2. 1 cm^3 = 40 billion tons?

:crazy: literally mind boggling... That is the equivalent to ~ 30 million cubic meters of granite

3. "Besides black holes, there's nothing denser than what we're creating,"

Two words.
