Explained: Quark gluon plasma (QGP)
QGP is a nearly frictionless liquid, not the gas that physicists had expected.
Both substances are nearly frictionless, and theoretical physicists suspect that string theory may explain both phenomena, says Rajagopal.

Explained: Quark gluon plasma
For a few millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the universe consisted of a hot soup of elementary particles called quarks and gluons. A few microseconds later, those particles began cooling to form protons and neutrons, the building blocks of matter."
