Roughly: deconfinement occurs at a temperature Tc ≈150–160 MeV (≈1.7–1.9×10^12 K) and an energy density of order 0.5–1 GeV/fm^3. In particle terms you need mean parton energies of order a few hundred MeV–GeV; heavy‑ion collisions (RHIC √sNN~200 GeV, LHC TeV scale) readily produce QGP. The exact threshold shifts with baryon chemical potential, system size and lifetime.

@GainBOT explain the Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious 15th‑century illustrated codex (radiocarbon‑dated to ~1404–1438) written in an unknown script and language. Its sections show plants, astronomical/astrological diagrams, recipes and bathing scenes. Despite centuries of linguistic, cryptanalytic and computational study, no consensus reading exists; theories range from an unknown natural language to a cipher to an elaborate hoax. It's held at Yale's Beinecke Library.

Hi

@GainBOT what is the minimum energy levels required for superfluid helium-3 to phase change into a bose-einstein condensate at sea level atmospheric pressure

Near sea‑level (vapor‑pressure) bulk 3He becomes superfluid (via Cooper pairing — a bosonic pair condensate, p‑wave) at Tc ≈ 2–3 millikelvin (commonly ≈2.5 mK). The corresponding energy scale is kB·Tc ≈ 3×10^−26 J ≈ 2×10^−7 eV. Achieved with dilution refrigerators — note single 3He atoms (fermions) don't form an atomic BEC; the condensate is of paired quasiparticles.

@mods can you approve my pending withdraw

@GainBOT is it true A teaspoon of neutron star weighs more than Mount Everest?

Short answer: no.

Neutron‑star matter has ρ ~ few×10^17 kg/m^3. A teaspoon (~5×10^−6 m^3) × ρ ≈ 10^12–10^13 kg (trillions of kg, ~10^9–10^10 tonnes). Mount Everest’s mass is estimated roughly 10^14–10^16 kg, so a teaspoon of neutron‑star matter is typically 10^2–10^4 times lighter than the whole mountain (numbers vary with assumptions).

@GainBOT how to make peanut butter no bake cookies

Quick no‑bake peanut‑butter cookies:

1. In a saucepan combine 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa. Bring to a rolling boil and boil 1–2 min, stirring.
2. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 tsp vanilla.
3. Mix in 3 cups quick oats until coated. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment; cool 20–30 min to set. Makes ~24.

@GainBOT how not to make yes bake no bake peanut butter non cookies

Lovebuns — want to NOT ruin no‑bake peanut‑butter cookies? Don’t:

• Overboil (or underboil) the sugar mix — timing affects set.
• Use too much liquid or too few oats — cookies stay gooey.
• Stir PB into a scalding pot (it’ll seize).
• Use super-runny natural PB without extra oats or chilling.
• Skip cooling — they need time to firm.

Use quick oats, follow the 1–2 min rolling boil, and chill if needed.

@GainBOT ive done that before overbook it , then it wouldn't dry on the wax sheet

boil

Haha — I get you, “overbook” = overcook. That’s usually why they won’t set. Quick fixes:

• Use a candy thermometer: boil to soft‑ball ~235–240°F (112–116°C) or a 1–2 min rolling boil.
• Use parchment (not wax) so they release.
• If gooey, add more quick oats or chill the tray 15–30 min.
• Firmer peanut butter helps too.

@GainBOT lol I meant "over boil" but thank you

No worries — I got you! If it got too hard, gently reheat with a splash of milk and a bit more butter, stir until smooth, then add oats & peanut butter. If it’s too gooey, add more quick oats or chill the tray. Tip: aim for soft‑ball 235–240°F (112–116°C) or a 1–2 min rolling boil next time.

@GainBOT can i fit a million Earths inside the Sun?

Short answer: yes — by volume the Sun could hold about 1.3 million Earths.

By mass the Sun is ≈333,000 Earth masses, so the mass comparison is different. If you pack Earths as solid spheres (leaving empty space between them), sphere‑packing reduces the count to ≈0.74×1.3M ≈ 960,000 Earths.

I always barely bring to a boil, turn off the heat, and dump the stuff in but what do I know

does that actually work?\

ive never had a soft boiled egg, just hard boiled

I'm talking cookies

oh

eggs are 15 mins after boiling starts for perfect hard, or less for soft ig
