Scientists
Report Hottest,
Densest Matter Ever Observed
By Kenneth Chang Experiments
at the Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the
hottest, densest matter ever observed, recreating conditions
a fraction of a second after the birth of the universe.
The ultradense matter will help scientists understand
the makeup of the universe a few millionths of a second
after the Big Bang and will cast light on the fundamental
forces that hold atomic matter together. "We're
creating matter that is tremendously denser," said
Dr. Peter Jacobs, a physicist at Berkeley Lab,
who presented findings from a RHIC detector. "It
makes no sense to talk about individual protons and
neutrons." Full
story. |

A
festival weekend of family-oriented activities
and events will celebrate the opening of the Lawrence
Hall of Science's newest permanent exhibit, “Forces
That Shape the Bay.” The spectacular LHS
view is enhanced with telescopes; facilitator-led,
hands-on activities; and geologic marvels such
as a waterfall, erosion tables, earthquake and
plate tectonics simulators, and more. This permanent
outdoor exhibit will enable visitors to participate
in activities that show how the Bay was formed.
At the same time they can view the result of millions
of years of geologic, climatic, marine, and human
forces. See the weekend program here.
