The sun core temperature is equivalent to 25 million times; if in real life, enough to melt all of the material.

AP U.S. scientists in a laboratory environment, the creation of a record 4 trillion degrees Celsius temperature to simulate the cosmic "Big Bang" after the case, to provide material for exploring the causes of the universe.

Such a high temperature, the equivalent of the Sun central temperature of 25 million times; if in real life, enough to melt all of the material.

The experiment was conducted by the U.S. Brookhaven National Laboratory completed on the 15th by the research team leader Steven Ludwig duo in Washington, DC, by the American Physical Society Conference on the occasion of announcement.

Thousandth of a second high-temperature continuous

Brookhaven National Laboratory agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, located in Upton, New York. Lab has a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the loop circumference of 3.8 km, built underground at 4 meters, to precious metals gold ions as the material, to accelerate so as to realize the number of 10 billion dollars to the collision to create a continuous time thousandth of a second, or milliseconds heat.

"RHIC design goals," Ludwig duo said, "is to simulate the formation of the early universe, in which the temperature, to produce the material."

4 trillion degrees Celsius heat on the identification, achieved by the calculation.
