Re: Bang
Anyone interested?

Large Hadron Collider successfully creates "mini-Big Bang"

They've been smashing together lead ions this time instead of protons. Next 4 weeks will be spent analysing all the data.

Another milestone to note is that they achieved the highest temperatures and densities ever produced in an experiment, over ten trillion degrees, a million times hotter than the centre of the Sun (though still a few degrees off the temperature of my work space this past July).
