Was our world contained in a grain of sand? True, this is a poet’s composition, but how many of us bother to take this poetic rendition seriously as science? Perhaps none, but its time to take it seriously!
Yes, it was flowing sand grains that might have simulated the first moments of our universe. It is found that sand grains while flowing execute liquid-like behavior, similar to that of particle-collider experiments.
When flowing sand grains strike a coin-like small, flat, circular object, it creates a cone-shaped ‘envelope-structure,’ as particles visible to the naked eye sometimes behave in similar ways like invisible particles smaller than an atom. Similar structures have also been observed in the ‘quark-gluon plasma’ experiments.
This breakthrough-finding of the surprising link between streams of flowing sand grains and the birth of the universe, could eventually change scientists way of interpreting the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider data on quark-gluon plasma — a super hot and extremely dense soup of subatomic particles that might have existed for a few millionths of a second following the Big Bang.
