Scientists have produced superheated gas exceeding temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin, or 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit.
That would cut considerable time off of heating my microwave burritos.
Check out those arcs.
If a nuclear bomb is at most 300,000 degrees Kelvin.... I read that somewhere.. How can they experiment this in laboratory?
Do you know if the pic is enlarge 100000000 times or what? I mean it is many times the energy of our sun in only one place.
No, thats a big pool of oil or something. And the temperature is in the form of X-rays released from plamsa - probably.
As for whoever said science was wrong about mroe energy coming out than you put in...there's a little equation called E=mc2 that relates all that. Matter becomes energy...not sure exactly what happened in this reaction, but in a fusion reaction you'll get more energy out, because the product of the fusion reaction will have slightly less mass than what you started with (like the hydrogen-->helium fusion that takes place in our sun). That extra matter becomes energy, calculable by E=mc2. I think the sun fuses around 700 million tons of hydrogen per second, and I want to say that 0.0093% (could be off, and I am too lazy to interrupt this post to google) is converted to energy.
Regardless of the numbers, you get the point.
I thought E=mc2 (Energy = mass x (speed of light)squared) was the equation used when trying to figure out how much energy is required to move a mass at the speed of light. I don't understand how it's useful here.
I'm not questioning you tnf, I'm just trying to understand is all. Thanks.

Thanks for your explanation. Now can you suggest me a good school?

No way can that be true?
That would have melted everything in a 5 mile radius?
Wonkey instruments perhaps?
Where were you when the West was defeated?

wrong.
Hard to believe. Like trying to store acid in a styrofoam cup or building a fireplace out of paper towels.
How can you experiment something of that sort with the element we have on earth?
These measure of figures of Kelvin degrees is beyond our imagination, well...at least mine. What about you?

No, because I understand the difference between heat and temperature.

It doesn't relate 100% to this topic. But you should work to figure out why a big pool of water at 50 degrees has more heat or thermal energy than a cup of water at 75 degrees.

Its a very straightforward idea.
As drinking a gallon of a spirit that has 5% per volume alcool will get you more drunk than a 341ml bottle that contain 12%.
No funny but really, What is the type of a laboratory that can experiment that and what type of a ''thermometer'' they have to measure it. I mean to me it look like science fiction in 3000.
I know at the time we thought about going to the Moon was only in the Tintin episode and that the earth was flat but c'mmon...
