Making the Stuff of The Big Bang
Article Abstract:
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory will try to duplicate the big bang by forcing gold nuclei to collide and melt into primordial building blocks at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider superconducting racetrack. The building blocks will be held together by quarks and the gluons which produce quark-gluon plasma form of matter which generates all normal matter. The atoms will travel at almost the speed of light, at temperatures a billion times warmer than the sun's surface.

The law would create difficulties for academic and government creators of large scientific databases and could prompt a more to commercialization of these databases.
