How much Hot is too Hot

By Katherine Lightwood

My expresso is quite hot, but it's not the hottest thing in the universe. So my question of today is, what is the hottest thing in the universe? I mean we know there is an absolute zero. but is there an absolute, hot? A point at which something is so hot, that it can't get any hotter.

To understand that let's start with human body temperature. Your internal temperature is not constant. 98.6 is just an average. Your body's internal temperature fluctuates by about one-degree Fahrenheit throughout a day in a cycle.

The highest recorded air temperature across all of the earth has happened four times in death valley, here it has reached 54'C. 82'C is recommended temperature for water when brewing coffee and at 99'C a cake is done. 1090'C is the temperature of lava fresh out of the ground. The surface of the sun has 5500'C, but at the center where the fusion occurs, it's ridiculous. The temperature there reaches 15 million 'C.

When matter reaches temperature as high as those that are found in the center of the sun, an enormous amount of energy is radiated. If you were to heat only the head of a pin to the temperature of the center of the sun, it would kill any person within the radius of 1000 miles. Speaking of which the energy emitted by an object often tells us a lot about the temperature of that object. Any object over absolute zero emits some form of electromagnetic radiation.

If you want something to be tight temperature to glow in the visible spectrum, you'll have to reach the 'Draper point' at about 798 K. At his point, almost any object will begin to glow a dead red. At a temperature as hot as the sun, the matter exists in the 'fourth state'. Not solid, not liquid, not gas, but instead a state where the electrons wander away from the nuclei PLASMA.

The peak temperature reaches during a thermonuclear explosion is 350 million Kelvin but it hardly counts because the temperature is achieved for a very small amount of time. But inside the core of a star, 8 times larger than our sun. On the last day of its life as it collapses in on itself, you would reach a temperature of 3 billion Kelvin or three Giga Kelvin. At one Tera Kelvin or 3000,000,000,000 K, things get weird. At that temperature, electrons are not the only thing that wanders away, the hadrons, the protons, and the nucleus melts into quirks and gluons, a sort of soup. But how hot is the Tera Kelvin, you might ask? And I will say frighteningly hot. And this is the exact temperature of "HELL".

So, that was my thought of the day. To see more posts like this make sure to visit our main page. And Do not forget to visit our institute's page to know more about graphic design, 3D, animation courses and other awesome stuff. Till then good day to you.
