These tiny droplets «flow» in a manner similar to the behavior of the quark - gluon plasma, a state of matter that is a mixture of the sub-atomic particles that makes up protons and neutrons and only
exists at extreme temperatures and densities.
Not exact matches
Scientists also study water under more
extreme conditions, including
at high pressures, where it can
exist in the solid state even
at room
temperature.
The QGP is an
extreme state of matter comprising deconfined quarks and gluons (partons) that
exists only
at temperatures above approximately 160 MeV, a condition met for last time a few microseconds after the Big Bang, or
at baryon densities five times higher than normal nuclear densities, speculated to
exist inside the core of neutron stars.
Field observations of microbes recovered from deep drill cores, deep mines, and the ocean floor, coupled with laboratory investigations, reveal that microbial life can
exist at conditions of
extreme temperatures (to above 110ºC) and pressures (to > 10,000 atmospheres) previous thought impossible.
Most organisms that have been investigated display greater sensitivity
at extreme temperatures, so as ocean
temperatures change, those species that are forced to
exist at the edges of their thermal ranges will experience stronger effects of acidification.
3) Any attempt to construct a single global or even Northern Hemisphere
temperature covering many centuries will encounter substantial difficulties, as incomplete information from novel proxies will probably not adequately represent the
extremes that are experienced
at either end of the
temperature spectrum, so what is considered the «average» is possibly representative of no climate state that actually ever
existed.
