In an experiment called PHENIX, researchers accelerated gold ions in both directions around the ring, ultimately smashing them together in one of six experimental chambers around the accelerator. The team then observed the very brief formation of the quark-gluon plasma, which turned out to be a nearly frictionless fluid with a temperature of 4 trillion degrees Celsius (7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit), a feat that has now been recognized by the folks at Guinness.
Keep that shit going for a couple of minutes and watch the polar ice caps melt. :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah I got that when the article said "brief moment" key words...brief, and...moment. I was kidding when I said what I said. :slap:Originally posted by Scrumhalf View Post^No.
Don't confuse temperature with heat capacity.
The temperature achieved is over a very small volume, so the total amount of heat energy confined is small.
