Question:

Can heat be infinite?

Since matter can never get colder than −273.15 °C due to molecules being at their lowest energy state, does that also mean that there is a certain temperature point when matter cannot get any hotter where molecules are at their highest energy state? (in much the same way as the speed of light is fixed?) Or is infinite heat "achievable"?

  1. I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that energy has no beginning or end; just different forms, so maybe???


  2. "heat" is energy, which can't be infinite, since there's only a finite amount of it around.

    Temperature can be infinite.  If you set up a system such that the entropy doesn't change when you add energy, it has infinite temperature.  And negative temperatures are even hotter than infinite ones.

  3. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.  the same goes for energy.  energy is only transfered between objects, never created.  so no, infinite heat is not achievable.

  4. Heat isnt infinite something always makes it hotter such as molecules in and around heat its like fuming heat with a substance that makes it burn or stay hot for a large amount of time.

    Heat is always fumed with another matter so that it can stay hot for a really long time like our sun and the stars however its not infinite no matter how long it takes to go out or disappear.
