Scientists can track the trajectories of particles emerging from heavy-ion collisions at the RHIC (Roger Stoutenburgh and Jen Abramowitz/Brookhaven National Laboratory) The powerful magnetic field generated by this process induced an electrical current in the quarks and gluons that were “set free” from the protons and neutrons. Scientists have just discovered that there could be zones, right here on our beloved planet, where flashes of magnetism bur
