The searing heats have been verified by the Guinness Book of Records, who confirmed the record-breaking temperature, which is 250,000 times warmer than the centre of the sun and was last seen in the universe a split second after the Big Bang.

The ultra hot explosions, which lasted for less than a billionth of a second, were created in a giant atom smasher at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The experiment is shedding new light on how the universe was created in a massive explosion between 13 and 14 billion years ago.

Magnetic man's body attracts 50 spoons

Etibar Elchyev from Georgia wants to proof that human magnetism is not a Hollywood spoof. Under the watchful eye of the Georgian Guinness Book of Records Commission, the former kick-boxing coach balanced metal spoons on his body. In his bid to set a new world record Elchyev balanced a staggering 50 spoons around his neck and chest, shattering the old record of 27.

And to show that his magnetic quality is not limited to just spoons, the 39-year-old balanced something much heavier - a man seated on a car bonnet, on his chest, for almost 27 seconds. 

Elchyev claims that he discovered his talent less than a year ago. The record challenger has to wait though, for the conformation of the results from the International Commission of The Guinness Book of Records.
