First Direct Evidence Suggests the Universe’s Primordial Soup Behaved Like a Liquid

Learn how physicists recreated the early universe’s primordial soup, known as quark-gluon plasma, and discovered how it responds when particles race through it.

CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid

Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as a near-perfect, low-friction fluid shortly after the Big Bang, validating decades of theoretical predicti…
