Very interesting. Hottest temperature ever created on Earth.

Some interesting things to note...

- Scientists have produced superheated gas exceeding temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin, or 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit.

- They don't know how they did it.

- The high temperature was achieved after the plasma’s ions should have been losing energy and cooling.

- When the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions.

- Sandia consultant Malcolm Haines theorizes that some unknown energy source is involved

When you are dealing with super-high temperatures like those, any principles of physics, chemistry etc. you may have learned in school go straight out the window.
