The cosmic first order phase transition from quarks to hadrons, occurring afew microseconds after the Big Bang, would lead to the formation of quarknuggets which would be stable on a cosmological time scale, if the associatedbaryon number is larger than a critical value. We examine the possibility thatthese surviving quark nuggets may not only be viable candidates for cold darkmatter but even close the universe.Comment: Latex fil
