Meet the 'bubbletrons' — theoretical particle accelerators that may have helped build the universe as we know it.
The extremely early universe featured the most cataclysmic, transformative and energetic events that ever occurred. Driving these energies was the expansion of the cosmos and the resulting fragmentation of the fundamental forces of nature.
Those awesome energies could have flooded the universe with dark matter particles, microscopic black holes, and much more, the researchers wrote. And the name of those ultra-energetic, early universe structures? Meet the"bubbletrons." But the only time the universe had the energies needed to do this was less than a second after the Big Bang. As the cosmos cooled and expanded from that early state, the forces split off from each other in titanic moments of phase transition. This splitting might have been smooth and serene, like the transition of ice melting into water, or incredibly violent, like the transition of water boiling into vapor.
But these bubbles wouldn't just have come and gone without leaving a trace, fizzing like an opened soda can. The bubbles would have carried truly enormous amounts of energy — orders of magnitude more energy than any human-made or natural process in the present-day cosmos.
