In the immediate aftermath of the big bang, the universe behaved like a very dense, superhot liquid, according to data from the most powerful atom-smashing experiment yet performed. Physicists recently re-created the conditions of the big bang using the ALICE detector in the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. The scientists smashed together lead ions—atoms of lead that had been stripped of their electrons—at nearly the speed of light. (source: news.nationalgeographic.com)
