What is the hottest thing made?

A CERN experiment at the Large Hadron Collider created the highest recorded temperature ever when it reached 9.9 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. The experiment was meant to make a primordial goop called a quark–gluon plasma behave like a frictionless fluid.

What is the hottest thing a human can touch?

ASTM C1055 (Standard Guide for Heated System Surface Conditions that Produce Contact Burn Injuries) recommends that pipe surface temperatures remain at or below 140°F. The reason for this is that the average person can touch a 140°F surface for up to five seconds without sustaining irreversible burn damage.

Is lava hotter than the sun?

Lava is indeed very hot, reaching temperatures of 2,200° F or more. But even lava can't hold a candle to the sun! At its surface (called the "photosphere"), the sun's temperature is a whopping 10,000° F! That's about five times hotter than the hottest lava on Earth.

Is anything hotter than lightning?

A bolt of lightning is 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun. One thing hotter is when gold atoms are smashed together by the Large Hadron Collider, but only for a split second. Another thing hotter is a supernova.

Is there anything hotter than Sun?

And the answer: lightning. According to NASA, lightning is four times hotter than the surface of the sun. The air around a stroke of lightning can peak at 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the surface of the sun is around 11,000 degrees. Meanwhile, magma can reach temperatures near 2,100 degrees.

Does absolute zero exist?

Absolute zero, technically known as zero kelvins, equals −273.15 degrees Celsius, or -459.67 Fahrenheit, and marks the spot on the thermometer where a system reaches its lowest possible energy, or thermal motion. There's a catch, though: absolute zero is impossible to reach.

Is Earth's core hotter than sun?

Really! The Earth's core is hotter than the outer layer of the Sun. The Sun's huge boiling convection cells, in the outer visible layer, called the photosphere, have a temperature of 5,500°C. The Earth's core temperature is about 6100ºC.

Is a supernova hotter than the Sun?

Supernovae are stars that contract so much that they eventually explode. They may reach temperatures of 3 billion degrees Celsius (that's 300 times hotter than the sun) right before they explode (Dickin, 2005).

Is fire the hottest thing on Earth?

By zapping a piece of aluminum with the world's most powerful x-ray laser, physicists have heated matter to 3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit (2 million degrees Celsius)—making it briefly the hottest thing on Earth. Only locations such as the heart of the sun or the center of a nuclear explosion are hotter.

Is there anything hotter than absolute hot?

No problem! In theory, a hotter temperature than a hottest temperature can exist—it's a negative temperature. As Charles Kittel and Herbert Kroemer write in their classic text Thermal Physics, "The temperature scale from cold to hot runs +0 K, …, +300 K, …, +∞ K, -∞ K, …, -300 K, …, -0 K."

Is lava hotter than fire?

While lava can be as hot as 2200 F, some flames can be much hotter, such as 3600 F or more, while a candle flame can be as low as 1800 F. Lava is hotter than a typical wood or coal-buring fire, but some flames, such as that of an acetylene torch, is hotter than lava.

Is welding hotter than the Sun?

Welding produces around 3400 K of heat, whereas the sun produces 5800 K. If we were to measure brightness through radiated heat, then the sun is the undisputed winner in this battle. Radiated heat is directly proportional to the fourth power of an object's absolute temperature, so the sun is about 8.4 times brighter.

What is a white black hole?

White holes are theoretical cosmic regions that function in the opposite way to black holes. Just as nothing can escape a black hole, nothing can enter a white hole. White holes were long thought to be a figment of general relativity born from the same equations as their collapsed star brethren, black holes.
