Quark Gluon Plasma - What Happens...?

Question

What happens when Quark Gluon Plasma is suddenly cooled (or the pressure sustaining it is suddenly relieved)?

Does the inflation of the universe during the inflationary epoch have anything to do with the properties of the plasma?


thanks,

Answer 1

Typically there will be a phase transition when temperature/pressure decreases enough so that the plasma state is no longer sustained, and the quarks becomes confined (i.e., coalesce into more complex particles like protons) and is no longer free to move around.

Of course during the inflationary epoch, the Universe was very hot, and the entire Universe was immersed in a plasma-energy soup. And what's driving the inflation??? It's the tremendous amount of energy released during the Big Bang, and this energy of course transitions into the hot plasma, and then as the Universe cools and expands ever bigger, the plasma phase transitions into elementary particles, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons.

This happened about 300,000 years after the Big Bang, which is also when photons are free to travel through space. And these photons of course have become the "Microwave Background Radiation" that we can detect today.

i understand you're conversing theoretically, yet an result with yet another tremendous body able to adjusting the earth's orbit and sending it in the route of a supermassive black hollow, would better than likely be adequate to end maximum existence on earth. If one way or the different we were to stay as a lot because the point of turning into trapped interior of a black hollow's gravity field i'd might want to anticipate that the layers of Earth would commence to peel off lengthy earlier the outcome easily got here about. considering maximum people live on the outer layer we would die from the freezing chilly because the ambience dissipated and all mild will be diverted from the outdoors. merely my ideas.
