Material created ten thousand times hotter than the sun

With the creation of this matter, the densest, begins a new stage for recreating the Big Bang conditions

The densest matter ever observed was produced by the particle accelerator, the famous Big Bang machine which will start a new age of high-precision studies on the formation of the universe, revealed the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN for its French acronym).
This matter created by collisions of lead ions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is ten thousand times hotter than the sun's interior and denser than neutron stars, he said.

"These results program of the LHC lead ions are beginning to bring a new understanding of the early universe,"said CERN Director General, Rolf Heuer said in a statement.

"The subtleties that are already looking very impressive, " Heuer said in his presentation to scientists around the world in the Quark Matter conference that takes place in Annecy, France.
In the beginning, just microseconds after the Big Bang, the universe consisted of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the basic pillars of matter.

When heavy ions collide, physicists have been able to somehow turn back time and recreate the conditions that existed at the time, "allowing us to understand the evolution of the primitive universe,''said the scientist.
This matter was created by the collision of lead ions in the large underground tunnel in the Swiss border with France, near Geneva, where scientists try to recreate the early universe.

In this case, the ALICE detector has found evidence to confirm the experiments of a decade ago at CERN made ​​there and then carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States on the quark-gluon plasma, a primitive state of matter

Scientists analyzing data from the ALICE detector stressed that the quark-gluon plasma behaves "almost like an ideal fluid with a minimum viscosity.

Moreover, CERN physicists particularly sought missing link of particle theory, the famous Higgs boson, or God particle, which is what would have given mass to all others.

prove its existence this summer, however, to deny their existence will have to wait until late next year.
 According to experts if can not find the famous Higgs boson, that would mean that the theory of elementary particles is wrong.
