Opposite of Absolute Zero? Absolute Hot?

AI Thread Summary
Absolute Hot refers to the theoretical maximum temperature, where particles reach extreme velocities, potentially leading to phenomena like black hole formation. At this temperature, the laws of physics as we know them may break down, making it challenging to describe particle behavior. The concept contrasts with Absolute Zero, the lowest possible temperature where molecular motion ceases. The discussion highlights the implications of reaching such high temperatures and the complexities involved in understanding them. The exploration of Absolute Hot raises significant questions about the limits of our understanding of the universe.

I've heard of something called Absolute Hot...the opposite of Absolute Zero (Absolute Cold). What happens at Absolute Hot?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
When I read that article saying "If a particle is accelerated to a certain velocity near that of light, it gains enough mass to collapse into a black hole, making it impossible for observers to make statements about its velocity." I die a little inside.
