I want to answer your question. But you do not respect my faith. So, sorry, no answer for you.
When in doubt, throw Bibles till they go away.John: 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Amen.
Okay -- let me see if I got this straight.Large Hadron Collider proves the universe was once a liquid
Am I to assume that this universe started by two lead nuclei smashing together at the highest energies possible?The world's most powerful particle accelerator smashed together lead nuclei at the highest energies possible, creating dense sub-atomic particles that reach temperatures of over ten trillion degrees. Beyond being awesome, this achievement shows the early universe was actually a liquid.
Colliding the particles together at those energies turns them into a superhot plasma, which unexpectedly behaves like a liquid. Since the early universe was at those sorts of temperatures, the same events occurred - creating liquid-like plasma. By recreating events that would have occurred during the early stages of the universe, we can see how things behaved.Okay -- let me see if I got this straight.

Which is probably why you're not a particle physicist at CERN.I don't see the Pb-in-a-glorified-hula-hoop-to-this-universe connection.
I realize lead is a very strong and stable element, but I don't see the connection -- I just don't see it.
By that one trite analogy, you've single-handedly uncovered the glaring flaw in particle physics that tens of thousands of scientists have overlooked for the past century!I think I'll slam two dictionaries together and see if I can show how the Encyclopedia Britannica got started.
Okay, so?Colliding the particles together at those energies turns them into a superhot plasma, which unexpectedly behaves like a liquid.
How do you (or anyone) know?Since the early universe was at those sorts of temperatures...
Er, are we talking religion here?Okay, so?
How do you (or anyone) know?
All you're doing -- (from my perspective, anyway) -- is colliding two Pbs together, then adjusting your computer software to treat the universe according to what happened.
Then they'll report this to the general public, put it in their school textbooks, and expect us to believe it lock, stock and barrel.
So it's a scientific discovery. Not everything has to have immediate practical world-altering applications. That said, human ingenuity can't be underestimated - who could have predicted what the investigation of electricity has done for us?Okay, so?
Deduction.How do you (or anyone) know?
Naturally.All you're doing -- (from my perspective, anyway) -- is colliding two Pbs together, then adjusting your computer software to treat the universe according to what happened.
It's generally reasonable to expect rational people to believe something rationally determined - like, say, the existence of atoms.Then they'll report this to the general public, put it in their school textbooks, and expect us to believe it lock, stock and barrel.
The only 'discovery' is discovering that the heat made lead flow like water -- big deal, I could have told you that.So it's a scientific discovery.

I think the technical term for it is molten metal.
Like I said, you 'scientists' have to come up with something, or you're going to lose your funding.
Throw the general public a bone -- they'll believe anything, as long as it's wrapped in technojargon.

Fine -- call it 'plasma' then; and if melting it doesn't ionize it, what did?Really AVET... plasma is not "molten metal." Melting metal does not ionize it!
Yes, and you know how I feel about that -- don't you?I just realized that this is a very good description of what Creation Scientists do for a living. Their MO is to wrap biblical literalism in technojargon and try and peddle it as science to the public and especially to their flocks.
well if we suppose that it at one time expanded from a point, I would also theorize that at one point it was a solid.
Since the lead atoms are so hot they've boiled, I'd like to see you predict that they behave like a liquid...The only 'discovery' is discovering that the heat made lead flow like water -- big deal, I could have told you that.
I think the technical term for it is molten metal.
They've more than justified the LHC's funding. They just don't have to justify it to you. As you so brilliantly demonstrate, you don't even understand the simplified, for-the-laymen press release - God only knows how you'd cope in an actual financial meeting.Like I said, you 'scientists' have to come up with something, or you're going to lose your funding.
So, what, we should stop using accurateThrow the general public a bone -- they'll believe anything, as long as it's wrapped in technojargon.
Actually, metals are plasmas, weirdlyReally AVET... plasma is not "molten metal." Melting metal does not ionize it!

Baloney.
No human being has ever known what the early universe was like. The Big Bang is just a model, and a flawed model no doubt, it's not reality. Speculate all you want but stop trying to fool the public.
So you're saying that colliding particles together in the past didn't result in superhot plasma?Baloney.
