Physicists using the Large Hadron Collider recreated conditions from the first milliseconds after the Big Bang and found the early universe behaved like a dense, liquid-like “soup.” Experiments by the CMS collaboration detected a subtle wake left by a high-energy quark moving through quark-gluon plasma, confirming it flows more like a fluid than a gas. The result offers rare experimental insight into how matter behaved just after the universe was born.
