Yahoo News: Record Set for Hottest Temperature on Earth: 3.6 Billion Degrees in Lab

What practical implications could this have?

Pure science has always had completely unforeseen applications. No one would have dreamed that Maxwell's equations could have had the impact they've had on technology, for example.

[Mad Mike]

Yeah, it's all fun and games till they crack the earth in half and we fly into the sun.

[Xameil]

Word has it that the way the generated that much heat was by putting Santana Moss on a treadmill.

I actually heard it was from Darrell Green, and Sanatana Moss having a foot race.

Actually ... I have a funny story about that. Oops, it's classified. Perhaps another time

What would ever posess someone to create a Z-machine?

I just think that thing is a mass of twisted metal and wires that when you press a button some lights come on and there is this huge hum and then it stops. The scientists are telling you that the created this atstonomical temperature that could very well ignite the Earth's atmosphere when all that happen was lights and a hum.

Guess again.

If you're skeptical, I'm sure they'll let you show up with your x-ray spectrometer and measure the energy distribution of the emitted radiation, and confirm what they're saying.

I'll let you borrow my spectrometer if you'd like

And it's still not as hot as Hell

And it's still not as hot as Hell

Not true.

Revelations 21:8 talks about a lake of liquid brimstone (sulphur) so the temperature of Hell must be below 445 Centigrade (boiling point of Sulphur/Brimstone) which is much, much cooler than the Z-machine generated plasma temperatures.

Now if Hell is operating at atmospheric pressure, we can prove (using Isiah 30:26 and the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation) that Heaven is actually hotter than hell, but given all the lost souls crammed in Hell in the limited space, the assumption of atmospheric pressure probably is not valid.

For those who don't get the reference, like me :

Isaiah 30:26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

wow

Thanks ...

This passage together with the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation allows us to calculate a temperature for Heaven of 525 °C, or about 80 degrees (Centigrade) hotter than Hell.

As I said in the previous post, the atmospheric pressure in Hell, from squeezing in all the lost souls such as myself, would increase the temperature where sulphur boiled to where Hell would be a just little hotter than Heaven.

[ashburnskinsfan]

wow

Don't worry ... I didn't originate the temperature of Heaven/Hell thing .... but it's fun ... at least for a physics geek.
