LHC needs to start looking into differentials and harmonnic geometrics...

This is just a loud trolling of the layman publics, because the quark gluon plasma has been observed before years at the Tevatron just during lead-lead collisions.

No, this is not trolling because to get a quark-gluon plasma you ned a certain amount of energy. Lead-lead collisions are much more energetic than lead-proton collisions. So finding this here is indeed surprising (and fascinating).

The only thing unexpected was the journalist's exaggerated use of the word "unexpected."

find out the difference between theory and expectation, then I will decide if you are even worthy to report on the scientists' observations.

here is a starting point for your adventure: etymology

As my childhood hero would say...

"Fascinating."

I think I'm lost on the Internet. I was looking for porn.

I once got odd readings from a circuit that seemed to be somehow related. Turned out to be my scope....

You found it.

only a matter of time until they open up an unstable worm-hole!

. Lead-lead collisions are much more energetic than lead-proton collisions. So finding this here is indeed surprising (and fascinating)
This is just another nonsense, as the quark gluon plasma has been observed even during pure http://blog.vixra...ns-maybe collisions). Nothing surprising is therefore with the lead-proton collisions.


Why would the lead researcher say this, then?
"You don't expect quark gluon plasma effects" with lead-proton collisions, Roland says. "It was supposed to be sort of a reference run—a run in which you can study background effects and then subtract them from the effects that you see in lead-lead collisions."


He certainly seems to be surprised to find this result. I am curious, do you have a background in nuclear physics, or are you currently doing research? Please educate us as to why they should have expected this. Thank you.

Since we know that Comets are mostly Olivine; why not blast a simulated solar wind of sodium or calcium against a piece of that mineral and see if we can generate water?

Those heavy-ion collisions produce a wave of quark gluon plasma, the hot soup of particles that existed for the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang.


Anyone find it odd that they continue to cite "theory" as though it were itself a "fact"?

Nobody was there to observe any such thing, so at best it is a hypothesis to assume that "hot soup of particles" is what the universe looked like in the beginning.

But don't let that get in the way of a "good" science article.

"only a matter of time until they open up an unstable worm-hole!"

No. Dawkins already assessed that any black holes that the LHC would potentially create would disipate before they could eventually become bigger (they first have to "eat" things with a smaller gravitational pull than themselves in order to get bigger and bigger). And since they're using much less energy than the conditions pre-big bang the black holes that would be created would just be too small to become larger since they would be next to all the comparatively huge machinery that makes the LHC, not to mention that Earth's own gravitational field would cancel out the BH's. That is just one of the many fearmongering myths that is associated with the LHC.

Feel free to correct me on anything I may have gotten wrong.

These idiots still think there was a Big Bang:) They don't stand a chance of figuring out anything:)

@Natello, I agree and disagree with you. I believe that science and journalism are tools. Tools cannot change human nature. Fortunately, as time and history has proven, we mold to social pressures. So what now becomes important is changing society. If we can use the power society can give us, we have the potential to create good. We have the potential to place people in positions in which they can be pressured into maximizing their potential.

So now personally for YOU, I recommend getting rid of the condescending tone that you have, and instead spread the PASSION for science and truth that you so obviously have. I made the same mistake, and I'm slowly learning from it. Passion is what's important. Getting people to be passionate towards science, art, humanity is what's important. It unlocks deeper meaning and experience to life more than anything else.

So let's set up these environments in which people can become impassioned easier, shall we?

It's Bush's fault! OBAMA PHONE!

Booooommm!!!! New particle causes zombie-like effects on humans.

Nutella & friends, so you think that science journalism is ultimately destructive to society? How precious. And I'm sure you really have it in for science-fiction, right? Your titanium tower attitude does leave me just a bit curious however. When you were young, what initially inspired you to the field? Or were you born as a full-fledged scientist?

Replusive Neutron AEither-Way theory is the only theory that relegated surprise to the dust bin of history, for with knowledge of its subtleties anything is possible, I retrodicted just such a Quack-Moron Glass some time ago soon. Yes we the true truth holders are not bound by your pitifully attempts at constraining us with a so called linear time flow.

O'Ranter out!

"I think I'm lost on the Internet. I was looking for porn."

I like a hot naked singularity as much as the next pervert...

Now I must return to Staring at things until I see the unmistakable signs of the Eelectric Universe, which was created by the great Electric Eel good Teslaogguaulhu (;,;)

Booooommm!!!! New particle causes zombie-like effects on humans. Stay-Safe guidance.

Since when on a science forum do the commenters have to defend a scientist that was interviewed who said the outcome was unexpected.

Have we stooped so low we don;t believe the quote or we saw that the scientist MUST be wrong.

Let's not be swayed so easily by trolls. And by ignoring them they can disappear back under the bridge.

So eight "new" members join today,,,, the people at NPR should see the authors of this article are available for their next beg-a-ton.

only a matter of time until they open up an unstable worm-hole!


Unstable wormhole in the middle of Europe is bad. A stable wormhole in the same location is even worse.

Oops. Last didn't go through. Check out the prophetic GHOSTLIFE quatrain on youtube about this from '08', pretty close parallels in possible D00M! Youtube search 'GHOSTLIFE THE COLLIDER'.

Fascinating. Can this new matter be harvested?

so you think that science journalism is ultimately destructive to society?
Of course not, but when exaggerated it can be harmful even for evolution of science. The problem is, the weak but systematic negative effects are overlooked with deterministically thinking people systematically. Whole the ignorance of cold fusion or dense aether model is about deterministic bias of science: the ten effects manifesting itself with 60% reliability don't count like single effect which is manifesting itself with 90% reliability, because it cannot be expressed with math so easily. For many physicists the phenomena doesn't exist, until its not modeled mathematically. And vice-versa, at the moment, when physicists have perspective of jobs and salaries in mathematical modeling of phenomena, then this phenomena gets interest into account of theoretically less interesting, but practically often way more important phenomena. It just illustrates the cognitive bias of contemporary science.

Feel free to correct me on anything I may have gotten wrong.

A) Dissipate
B) Hawking

Collisions between protons and lead ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have produced surprising behavior in some of the particles created by the collisions. The new observation suggests the collisions may have produced a new type of matter known as color-glass condensate.


What which was called as new particles (created by the collisions) seems misinterpreted, actually they are not true particles (something like electrons), and rather they should be called as 'disturbed vacuum fields'! The reason behind is that conventionally, they are coherent states of vacuum fields (this is why they are unstable). To visualize the mechanism which explains how it works, see…

@Sir_ViP: "Tools cannot change human nature."

Many a scientist wouldn't agree with you, from Marx all the way to anthropologists to neurologists.

Now by observation this new matter should be hours and days old. But if you register it on data equipments for detecting the age of the atomic matter it will say it is millions of years old already.

Why is that?

What happens when the particles collides gangnam style?

Natello:

The Tevatron only ran proton/anti-proton collisions. It was never designed for lead/lead ion beams.

Go home LHC. You're drunk!

Color-glass condensate is the form regular (baryonic) matter undertakes when travelling at relativistic speeds (close to light speed). The length of the nucleon(s) shortens (Lorentz length contraction), the gluons flatten to produce a kind of a wall. Due to time slowing (time dilation), the liquid type quark gluon plasma which exists within nucleons sort of freezes. In the short term the gluons act as a solid while over a long period they act as a liquid (which is the same with silica, glass).

This new form of matter is just regular matter under relativistic speeds.


You know I had a hunch that was the situation :) Actually thanks for the easy to understand explanation.

"Somehow they fly at the same direction even though it's not clear how they can communicate their direction with one another."

Mavens!

Does this remark/finding in ANY fashion suggest the possibility of the notion of the idea that...

...the particles are CHANGING their path's vector...

...causally?

If true, this already incredibly weird universe...just became 10^nth weirder.

What's your interpretation?

NO GOD DAMN IT! it's obviously caused by quantum entanglement.

perhaps the rover will find signs of life?

...sensation digging of journalists ...

This is phys.org not the National Enquirer. If the journalist is digging for sensationalism then he's writing for the wrong site. ;P
