In this 72-minute Presidential Lecture from the Simons Foundation, explore how nuclear collisions at Long Island and Geneva laboratories create tiny droplets of quark soup reaching temperatures of 1 trillion degrees and pressures 10 million trillion trillion times Earth's atmospheric pressure. Discover how these "Little Bangs" produce the same primordial fluid that filled the universe microseconds after the Big Bang, now proven to be the most liquid liquid in the universe. Join Krishna Rajagopal as he explains what scientists have learned over the past twenty years and previews upcoming measurements that will use jets to probe the microstructure of hot quark soup and observe how each droplet ripples after being probed.
