Early Universe was Liquid-like, Study Suggests

Early Universe was Liquid-like, Study Suggests
(Space.com)
New results from a particle collider suggest that the universe behaved like a liquid in its earliest moments, not the fiery gas that was thought to have pervaded the first microseconds of existence.

By revising physicists’ concept of the early universe, the new discovery offers opportunities to better learn how subatomic particles interact at the most fundamental level. It may also reveal intriguing parallels between gravity and the force that holds atomic nuclei together, physicists said Monday at a Tampa, Fla., meeting of the American Physical Society.

Oopsie! Time to dig for a new quote that fits.
