Description
The universe, microseconds after the Big Bang consisted of Quarks, Gluons, leptons and photons. Possible remnants from that epoch can be MACHO type of dark objects about the size of the Jupiter. One partial source of dark energy could be the orphan quarks left over from that epoch. In a typical phase diagram early universe corresponds to low baryon density but very high temperature.
Neutron Stars on the other hand correspond to very high baryon density but low temperature. Recent work indicates a rich variety of layers of exotic matter with the serious possibility of quark matter in the core. LHC, RHIC & FAIR - What can we learn?
