> Stable states are likely not all that hot, but what about supernova? As context first, at some point temperature just sort of, stops being useful as a comparison. Not because it can't be computed, but because there really isn't any point of comparison for it. The coldest temperature in Antarctica was -89.2 Celsius [0]. The hottest day in Death Valley was 56.7 Celsius [1]. Tungsten melts at 3400 Celsius [2]. And papers about supernova will casually throw around phrases like "for temperatures exceeding a few 100 keVs" [3], to state that pretty much everything that happens in a supernova will…
