Believe it or not, the hottest place is inside a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider housed in the Department of Energy's Brookhaven Laboratory in New York state.
What are scientists doing with this Collider? They hope to gain insight into what occurred in the first microseconds after the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago.
Oh no. Please tell us our tax money isn't being used to support this work.
Maybe these folks need to get together with the Climate alarmist folks and Al Gore. I always thought the big bang was 13.6 billion years ago!

Or 13.8 billion.

I would just like to point out that a difference of 100 million years is less than 1% error when talking about 13 billion years. While +/- 100 million years seems like a large error, its actually a very precise estimate.
