Visualisation of primordial quark / gluon plasma
Visualisation of the early universe. This image depicts particles in the quark-gluon " soup" which existed less than one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. Quarks are shown in red, green and blue; anti-quarks are cyan magenta and yellow. Other colours are gluons. The grey particles are electrons and electroweak force bosons. Gluons are the carriers of the strong nuclear force, but at the high energy density of the universe at this time (a million billion degrees temperature), quarks would not have been confined by the force. As the universe continued to expand, and the temperature dropped, the quarks were able to combine into baryons such as protons and neutrons

Artwrk Cosmology Early Gluon Plasma Primordial Quark Universe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing visualisation of the primordial quark/gluon plasma, offering us a glimpse into the early universe. Just moments after the Big Bang, this image portrays the intricate dance of particles in what can be described as a quark-gluon "soup". The vibrant colors represent different types of particles: red, green, and blue for quarks; cyan, magenta, and yellow for anti-quarks; while other hues symbolize gluons. At this extraordinary time when temperatures soared to unimaginable heights (a million billion degrees), the force that binds these particles together - known as the strong nuclear force - was unable to confine them. However, as the universe expanded and cooled down gradually, an incredible transformation occurred. Quarks began combining with one another to form baryons like protons and neutrons. Amidst this cosmic symphony, we also spot grey particles representing electrons and electroweak force bosons. It's worth noting that gluons play a crucial role here as carriers of the strong nuclear force. This awe-inspiring artwork not only sheds light on our understanding of cosmology but also serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our origins. Displayed by Science Photo Library with no commercial intentions in mind, this exceptional piece invites us to marvel at both its artistic beauty and scientific significance.
