Well, heat is caused by particles moving around, and they can only go the speed of light max, so there is a limit. It's still extremely hot though, anything physical would be blown apart by the surrounding near light speed particles in an imperceptibly short time.
- tialaramex 4y agoAlthough temperature can be analogised to particles moving around I believe that at the extremes the fact that's just an analogy causes problems which would be relevant here.
- Vecr 4y agoWhat do you mean by "analogised"? That's literally what's happening, at least in a classical sense, right? Brownian noise, etc? I suppose it's not quite that on a quantum level though, it's closer to nuclear physics.
- tialaramex 4y agoExactly, the problem is that at extremes "classical" physics doesn't explain what we can observe.
