Schrödinger's Cat 

Schrödinger's Cat is thought experiment that shows something called superposition, with a box, a cat, some poison (or radiation, or bomb, or whatever, it is just supposed to kill the cat), and a object that could read a particle's spin. Erwin Schrödinger thought that if you put a cat in a box with something that could harm them, and you can't see inside the box, the cat is both dead and alive all at the same time.
Will you PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT Schrödinger's Cat, BILLY?

Quark-Gluon Plasma 

At 7 trillion to 10 trillion degrees Fahrenheit, protons and neutrons melt away into quarks and gluons. This happened at the very, very beginning of the universe.
Would you like some nice hot quark-gluon plasma?
