Scientific paper
The Committee on the Physics of the Universe was charged by the National Research Council to assess areas of research at the intersection of astronomy and physics. Their report Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos is cast in the form of ``Eleven Science Questions for the New Century''. At least one of those questions (What Are the New States of Matter at Exceedingly High Density and Temperature?) is related to the central mission of RHIC. More broadly, it is hard to envisage a more direct connection between quarks and the cosmos than the efforts to re-create in the laboratory states of matter similar to conditions in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. This talk will detail some of the remarkable successes in the first three years of RHIC operations, with particular attention to the possibility of connecting this physics to that of the early universe and to other fields of physics.
