<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">We discuss aspects of the physics of very high energy heavy ion collisions, which form the hottest and densest matter on earth. This matter previously
only existed micro-seconds after the big bang. We attempt to provide a deeper look into how this matter is formed, what it’s made up of, and its transport properties. Our lecture will draw directly or indirectly on ideas in QCD, string holography, statistical
mechanics, plasma physics, quantum chaos, Bose-Einstein Condensates and pre-heating in inflationary cosmology.</font></div>
