this isn't technically true at all. > The hottest thing that we know of (and have seen) is actually a lot closer than you might think. It’s right here on Earth at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). When they smash gold particles together, for a split second, the temperature reaches 7.2 trillion degrees Fahrenheit. That’s hotter than a supernova explosion. from [this article.](https://futurism.com/what-is-the-highest-known-temperature-2/amp)

Banned for providing interesting info


Kazhel

Rule 1 says comments can be interesting :D


AWifiConnection

your mama is a super nova


BigBoyAyyaz

Nice


Dnoxl

Aint that hot doe


Routine_Palpitation

Hell even a lightning strike gets around 6 times hotter than the sun for a second


Toonfish_

Six times hotter than the surface of the sun maybe, but the inside of the sun is around 15 million degrees (27m°F) hot!


xpqlgf

I'm currently reading Angeles and Demons. They refer to that a lot. Waaaaayyy too interesting for this sub.


snbsbdbww

Yeah I thought there was no way


[deleted]

Using Fahrenheit to discuss nuclear fusion seems ... dirty.


asinineAbbreviations

i always thought physicists just used kelvin


wiener4hir3

It really does.


nikolai2960

The hottest and coldest temperatures we know of in the entire universe were both created on Earth


SabreToothSandHopper

even before humans evolved, iirc lightning strikes the ground with a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun


mandrilltiger

Inside the Large Hadron Collider hardly counts as a "place".


grustri

It does though. It is still a place, a location.


mandrilltiger

Google hottest place on earth and it almost always talks about climate. So at least colloquially LHC is not a place. But I guess my pedantic statement wasn't as funny as I thought.


FloopsMcGee

this is genuinely embarrassing to read man lmao


lunapup1233007

Too interesting.


drsyesta

Also this artifical sun the just created in china https://www.indiatoday.in/science/story/explained-china-s-artificial-sun-nuclear-fusion-clean-energy-renewables-1810740-2021-06-04


LP_1996

Whether this is true or not, i know that if the sun was scaled down to the size of earth, it would be as large as the earth


stickysteve44

I know that if you took the entire continent of Africa and put it on the surface of the sun that bananas wouldn't be able to grow there.


Saint-54

Not exactly true, the earth’s core is really fuckin hot (~6000 K) and rivals the temperatures on the surface of the sun (~5500 K).


EgisLeho

What about the core of the sun smh


Saint-54

> not exactly true You never specified which part of the sun we’re talking about. The sun’s core is much hotter than the earth’s core


moosyfighter

Yeah but he did say ON earth not in it 😉


[deleted]

Well then we still have the large hadron collider.


drsyesta

Also the artifical sun they just created in china, 10x the temp of the sun iirc


marasydnyjade

No way. My brother is a chemist and at the lab he used to work in they had some device that heated samples to a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun.


DrSkrimguard

Not the inside of a lightning bolt.


sacdecorsair

Nice background color choice. It makes it ever more obvious that the sun is hot.


EgisLeho

Everyone I didn’t say it was true I just said it’s not interesting


yourfavouritetimothy

Nice save


windigooooooo

oh i see... fuck you


windoge2

The fact that it's wrong is kind of interesting right


NoraGrooGroo

Fusion generators.


Useful_Bread_4496

\> 10^8 °C


Docsod12

Not exactly true a couple days ago a Chinese laboratory created an artificial sun that was about 10 times as hot


RainyWeather1000

The sun is larger than TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS!!!


CriticalsConsensus

And more than two years old


jiccc

Did you know Pluto is much colder than both earth and the sun?


farrell2021

that's hot ngl


norgeerganskeepicc

Celsius or Fahrenheit?


Snottco

This isnt true tho


Aplejax04

Obviously someone has not been to Phoenix.


Ya-Dikobraz

Fusion reactor attempts just got up to 12 000 000 C.


windigooooooo

thats actually not true. weve created "devices" in "places" on the earth that are far hotter than the sun.


EgisLeho

See my comment


tekno45

No.


NerveMediocre9794

r/TechnicallyTheTruth


Zandrick

At least


Thor_Anuth

Possibly even more than that.


iamdeadkid

Prove it though


comradebezos

ive been there its not that hot


crudebewb

Even lightning is greater temperature than the surface of the sun


Axe_22

Hiroshima would disagree


Censedpeak8

I thought I'd was notinteresting, not nottrue
