What is the highest temperature possible in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Answer

It's called the Planck Temperature. It is the highest possible temperature that matter can exist at. It is approximately 1.41679 x 10^32 Kelvin. That's 100 million million million million million degrees. For comparison, the center of the sun bubbles along at icy 15 million degrees.

Scientists believe that our universe has already experienced the Planck temperature, although it went by so quickly you may have missed it. It occurred at 10^-43 of a second after the Big Bang, the great cataclysm in which the universe was born.

If you go beyond this absolute hot temperature, everything would turn to pure energy, all subatomic particles break down and become individual black holes destroying space and time. This is because the faster molecules move, the hotter they get. At 10^10K electrons approach the speed of light, but they also become more massive, so their temperature can continue to rise. At 10^32K, that great density and temperature would cause each particle of matter to become its own black hole, and the usual understanding of space and time would collapse. Which means the Planck temperature is as hot as things can get.

Answer 2

There's something called the Planck temperature which, if not the highest possible temperature, is certainly the highest temperature we can sensibly talk about (above the Planck temperature we don't have a theory to predict what would happen). It's about 1.4 x 1032 K. There are some other possibilities as well, see the link for more information.

Answer 4

How about greater than 2 x 1011 °F for a "high temperature" record? That was the temperature in the universe a very short while after the Big Bang that started everything.

Answer 5

A temperature of 57.8 degrees Celsius (136F) was recorded in Al 'Aziziyah, Libya on the 13th September 1922.
