4 trillion degress celsius

Temperature is a function of energy. Just because something is four trillion degrees celsius doesn't mean it will melt everything in sight. The upper atmosphere is a great example of the energy vs heat vs temperature discussion.
I'll just quote the thermosphere wikipedia entry here:
The highly diluted gas in this layer can reach 2,500 °C (4532°F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, one would not feel warm in the thermosphere, because it is so near vacuum that there is not enough contact with the few atoms of gas to transfer much heat. A normal thermometer would read significantly below 0 °C, due to the energy lost by radiation overtaking the energy acquired from the atmospheric gas by direct contact.

Hottest temperature ever they say. Protons melt at 2 trillion degrees and they got the temp up to 4 trillion degrees.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is some kind of scam? I mean...if protons are melting at that temperature, surely the thermometer would melt too!
How do they figure it? Obviously some kind of wacky math formula, but if the sun is 50 billion degrees and we feel the temperature of it 93 million miles away, how could 4 trillion degrees not melt everything in a 50 mile radius? I know some of you will say "oh it only lasted a millisecond, so its like when you move your hand really fast over a candle and you dont feel it. But that said...going from zero to 4 trillion degrees in a millisecond? I dont believe it.
But i bet some of you believe it with your blind faith in science. Some of you that have no clue how this kind of stuff works believe it just because scientists said it.
I would love to see how they explain the origins of the big bang with this information. (and how the giant particle accelerator formed before the big bang along with the guy to turn it on to create that heat.) The funny this is, the scientists want this data to be real so badly they will not question whether it is real or correct.
Sounds like you might have a problem with their math...but where does your OPINION indict all of SCIENCE? I missed that part
suggestion: submit your mathematical rebuttal in the interest of truth and science
i doubt that'll ever happen ahha
As peilthetraveler will surely tell you, the single answer to all science questions is: God. And it is self-evident, so no further explanation is necessary.Quote from killthesunshine:

Why some people virtually foam at the mouth about 3 little letters is beyond me.
Grow up and get over it or go see your shrink and get meds for your OCD.
But Where is God when This stuff takes Place?
Maybe God is just some guy with lots of power and decided to make a Universe so he can watch for entertainment a bunch of people doing crazy stuff.
Kind of like some Galactic Reality TV show for God. or A game of Sims.

Do you maintain the same stand for radical Muslims who use the 3 letter word?
Just because you speak for them does not mean I do too.
You might want to reconsider advertising that fact.
