@neiltyson @wylieam Couldn't there (in principle) be a relativistic limit on temperature? I.e., particles can't move faster than c?

@neiltyson@wylieam Does the speed of light place a limit on temperature? Atoms can't bounce around any faster.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson What about the Planck temperature experienced during the big bang? Isn't that supposed to be an 'absolute heat'? - 1 more reply

@neiltyson there is a video in vsauce channel on YouTube that disagrees slightly.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam Where does the Planck temperature fit into all of this?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam Though not so much you're forced to break conservation of mass/energy at any given time...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam But isn't the cap the point where atoms start vibrating near light speed? Or doesn't that speed limit count here?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam If temp is the random KE of a substance, couldn't energy be added until motion equaled c?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Yea man i will test it on a pan after dinner not with oil but graso thanks

@neiltyson@wylieam Wouldn't the upper limit be the amount of energy present in the first few Femtoseconds at the beginning of the Universe?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam I would have thought that once you reached a particular temperature all subatomic activity would basically blow apart.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam how fast is ludicrous speed?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson is there anything below absolute zero, or is that getting into theoretical territory?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@wylieam Well, kind of, particle speeds limited by c. Universe density limited by Big Bang. Can't go higher than T at Plack time. -
@d_a_howell@wylieam Ha, suck it,@neiltyson! Sadly, I was thinking that mass of universe/speed of light might limit temp, but, well, dumb
