Shock-wave cosmology inside a black hole.

abstract：:In colloidal systems, the interplay between the short range attraction and long-range repulsion can lead to a low density associated state consisting of clusters of individual particles. Recently, such an equilibrium cluster phase was also reported for concentrated solutions of lysozyme at low ionic strength and close...
