For many of us, the hottest thing we could think of might be the core of the sun. But broiling as it is at roughly 1017 degrees, it's a full 15 orders of magnitude colder than the current highest temperature that physicists propose.

ABOSUTE HOT. From this site. For many of us, the hottest thing we could think of might be the core of the sun. But broiling as it is at roughly 107 degrees, it's a full 25 orders of magnitude colder than the current highest temperature that physicists propose. CooL, err I mean hot! javamanjoe.

Absolute Hot For many of us, the hottest thing we could think of might be the core of the sun. But broiling as it is at roughly 10^7 degrees, it's a full 25 orders of magnitude colder than the current highest temperature that physicists propose.

From the page: "As you might have guessed, by this point the physicists had lost meâ€"if not at the very beginning. I was way out of my comfort zone."
