The James Webb Space Telescope known as the JWST will show us more of the Universe. Instead only seeing back to the first few hundred million years, we may be able to see the first million years or less. This may show us a cosmic soup of quark-gluon plasma. This type of plasma comes into form at temperatures of 4 trillion degrees. As a reference this is 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun (a Star). These temperatures are the hottest on record. We have not increased temperatures higher than 4 trillion to 6 trillion Celsius. Now that is hot as hell. At these temperatures there is no solid state of matter. Rather this quark-gluon plasma is a perfect liquid. The JWST may show us what the Universe actually looked like when the Universe was made up of quark-gluon plasma (liquid)
