What is the highest sustained temperature mankind can produce and how is it done? I've searched Google and Wikipedia already and I came here hoping to find the answer.
The highest sustained temperature that mankind can produce is currently around 4 trillion degrees Celsius, achieved at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
Such high temperatures are achieved through nuclear fusion, in which atoms are smashed together with high amounts of energy to form new, heavier elements. This process is also what powers the sun and other stars.
The purpose of reaching such high temperatures is to better understand the fundamental particles and forces that make up our universe. It also has potential applications in energy production and space travel.
Yes, there are risks involved with creating such high temperatures, as it requires large amounts of energy and can potentially release dangerous radiation. Safety precautions and regulations are in place at facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider to mitigate these risks.
The current record for the highest sustained temperature achieved by mankind is 4 trillion degrees Celsius, as mentioned before. However, scientists are constantly pushing the boundaries and working towards even higher temperatures in their research.
