The discussion revolves around identifying the specific lines that represent quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in scientific imagery. Participants express confusion regarding the visual representation of QGP and seek clarification on its appearance and characteristics. There is a request for sources to better understand QGP and its discovery. The conversation emphasizes the need for clear explanations and visual aids to comprehend complex scientific concepts. Understanding QGP is crucial for grasping fundamental aspects of particle physics.

I'm just confused when people said they discovered QGP but I'm not sure which one is the QGP. What does QGP looks like actually.
 
Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
