Quantum stuff and the Big Bang

[Chas]

It was a high-energy plasma and no more like a liquid than like a gas.

Big Negative Chas,

Although the experimental high temperatures and densities predicted as producing a quark-gluon plasma have been realized in the laboratory, the resulting matter does not behave as a quasi-ideal state of free quarks and gluons, but, rather, as an almost perfect dense fluid.[10] Actually, the fact that the quark-gluon plasma will not yet be "free" at temperatures realized at present accelerators was predicted in 1984 as a consequence of the remnant effects of confinement

Since the big bang was everywhere there was no free surface, but its extreme denseness and fluidity made it behave more liquid like than gas.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the link.
