More sensationalist reporting.  They're trying to recreate in the small
(*very* small) some aspects of the conditions very shortly after the
Big Bang.  Quark-gluon plasmas are interesting, but they're hardly
(re)creating the Big Bang, even in miniature, any more than writing to
an EEPROM is recreating lightning bolts in miniature.

I also don't see what this has to do with risk acceptance (nor
security, unless there is a link to risk I'm missing).
