7 interesting facts about the temperature

The highest temperature created by man, ~ 10 trillion. K (which is comparable to the temperature of the universe in the first seconds of her life) was reached in 2010 with the collision of lead ions accelerated to near-light speed. The experiment was conducted at the Large Hadron Collider.

2) The highest theoretically possible temperature - Planck temperature. Higher temperatures in modern physical concepts can not exist, since extra energy sitemy heated to a temperature does not increase the velocity of the particles, and only generates a new particle collisions, while the number of particles in the system grows and grows the mass of the system. We can assume that this temperature "boiling" physical vacuum. It is approximately equal to 1.41679 (11) · 10 ^ 32 K (about 142 nonilliona K).



3) The surface temperature of the sun is about 6000 K. (5726.85 ° C)



4) The lowest temperature reached by man, was obtained in 1995 by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman of the United States when cooled rubidium atoms ... It was above absolute zero by less than 1/170 billionth of a kelvin (5, 9 × 10 ^ (- 12 ) K).



5) Record low temperature on the surface of the earth -89.2 ° C was recorded on the Soviet inland research station Vostok, Antarctica (the height of 3488 m above sea level) July 21, 1983.



6) The record high temperature on the surface of the Earth + 56 ˚C 7 was recorded July 10, 1913 at the ranch Grinlend in Death Valley (California, USA).



7) The seeds of higher plants remain viable after cooling to -269 ° C. (Eg mosses, ferns)
