If I'm not mistaken, that's around 3,888,888,888,871.1113 degrees celsius for us eurofags.

ah so a little hotter than McDonald's coffee
[QUOTE=thisispain;36612876]ah so a little hotter than McDonald's coffee[/QUOTE] Cooler, actually. Note the title said [I]manmade[/I]
How would you even measure something like that? What does temperature signify when you're dealing with a couple hundred particles?
[QUOTE=Krinkels;36612951]How would you even measure something like that? What does temperature signify when you're dealing with a couple hundred particles?[/QUOTE] Temperature is just the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so you get the average kinetic energy of those few particles.
[QUOTE=Ast_risk;36612865]You know it says it in the article.[/QUOTE] Reading is hard.
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;36613000]Temperature is just the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so you get the average kinetic energy of those few particles.[/QUOTE] Okay so how do they know the velocity of those objects?
Fahrenheit. Dissapointing. That's basically half of the actual value in kelvin/centigrade.

I fucking hate it when science articles give only a 0 decimal result and round up the number massively so that it's of no use to anyone who is actually interested in the results of the article.
[QUOTE=Jin;36611202]Did they super-heat a Hot Pocket?[/QUOTE] I'm now in-visioning a particle accelerator that also accelerates Hot Pockets.
[QUOTE=Krinkels;36613072]Okay so how do they know the velocity of those objects?[/QUOTE] As I am not a physicist I wouldn't know for sure but I got this from Wikipedia: [quote=Wikipedia]On the molecular level, temperature is the result of the motion of the particles that constitute the material. Moving particles carry kinetic energy. Temperature increases as this motion and the kinetic energy increase. The motion may be the translational motion of particles, or the energy of the particle due to molecular vibration or the excitation of an electron energy level. Although very specialized laboratory equipment is required to directly detect the translational thermal motions, thermal collisions by atoms or molecules with small particles suspended in a fluid produces Brownian motion that can be seen with an ordinary microscope. The thermal motions of atoms are very fast and temperatures close to absolute zero are required to directly observe them.[/quote] From the page on temperature. I personally didn't take that long to research so there may be more, but all I could find there was mention of "very specialized laboratory equipment."
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;36610814]Now now now that's Fahrenheit.[/QUOTE] That's 4 trillion degrees Celsius.
[QUOTE=leontodd;36611033]Nuclear fusion please! :D[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER[/url]
or 3,200,000,000,000 degrees Réaumur
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;36613245]That's 4 trillion degrees Celsius.[/QUOTE] Or 4,000,000,000,273.15 Kelvin.
Now we just need a bomb made like this
[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;36613000]Temperature is just the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so you get the average kinetic energy of those few particles.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't it make more sense to measure it in Joules or the metric equivalent instead?
[video=youtube;5ZMmbYUi_dg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZMmbYUi_dg[/video] First thing that came to mind.
How does this not... you know, completely burn through and destroy anything containing, or anything around this particle, at such a temperature? I'm pretty sure that shit would even insta-melt a diamond if it touched it, and at least make anything within a few feet of the particle feel [I]very very[/I] hot due to how extreme of a temperature this is.
[QUOTE=leontodd;36611033]Nuclear fusion please! :D[/QUOTE] we've already achieved artificially created nuclear fusion reactions. We just haven't figured a practical way to make a generator out of them. The reactions themselves are extremely expensive to produce, and we aren't sure how to harness their energy.
You can make some serious smores with that heat goddamn
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;36613935]Wouldn't it make more sense to measure it in Joules or the metric equivalent instead?[/QUOTE] I'm not a scientist, I wouldn't know. I know the basics, but I am no scientist.
Bah, I can easily do better by overclocking my Nvidia-card.

[QUOTE=Krinkels;36612951]How would you even measure something like that?

At this temperature it will emit energetic high frequency gamma rays which can be detected easily.
