What's the opposite of absolute zero? What is the highest possible temperature?

How do we know? Planck temperature? What happens at that temperature to matter and how can we exceed it and use it

>> No.4528187

ONE BILLION DEGREE

The highest possible temperature is probably where the particle are vibrating at 99% the speed of light.

the highest temperature is when particles are vibrating at 99.9999999999999% the speed of light 13 9's

Planck temperature. Not achieveable seeing as you'd tear. hole in spacetime with it.

LETS DO IT

How could it be done? What kind of tech could create it

A laser.

Many people think this is how you would open up wormholes for fast travel, fire a bunch of lasers heating up a tiny area of space until is tears.

Negative temperatures.

-0K is the hottest.

>> No.4530447

the highest possible temperature would obviously be attained by compressing all of the matter/energy in the entire universe into a singularity. it's probably a really big number.

>implying that would be a large number at all in the scope of chaotic inflation theory

>> No.4530466

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING

what is the largest temperature and why can't it approach infinity like in math anything can approach infinity...wtf is wrong with u

For all the fuck we know the Laws of thermodynamics is our sector of the cosmos could be affected by dark matter and aren't valid outside of our galaxy.

a theory, is a theory, is a theory

name one thing that can't logically approach infinity

The speed of a person running.

0/10

>> No.4530497

>>4530491

It can, there is no contradiction in saying

"the person's running speed approached infinity"

next.

I was ignorant of its complacement and deemed it irrelevant to this pragmatic example; I ignored his pedantry.
