Measurements of strange and non-strange particles in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) show exciting new experimental features. These measurements indicate the formation of a Quark Gluon Plasma via the large energy deposited and the large number of particles produced. I will discuss the implications of these results and the motivation they provide for further studies at the Large Hadron Collider.
