billslugg, does your comment indicate the quark-gluon plasma for the early universe was real in nature as the BB model and this article presents? Is there a problem with particle experiments claiming they can recreate this early universe condition; thus, this becomes evidence for BBT?Quarks cannot be removed from a nucleon simply because the amount of energy require to pull one away is in excess of the energy required to create one. So as fast as you pull them away, like a string full of beads, they keep reappearing.
