Where can we find the warmest space in the known universe? It is closer to us than we would expect. And why does such a hot place interest us? Because only at extremely high temperatures can we find the most beautiful liquid we know. This fluid has almost no friction, it flows almost perfectly, and is called quark-gluon plasma. In the presentation I will try to explain why this fluid fascinates us and how we can examine it.
