We know there's a minimum temperature (absolute zero), but is there a theoretical maximum temperature?

    Maybe the temperature of the sun

    Tₚ = √(ℏc⁵/Gk²) ≈ 1.417×10³² K This is the Planck temperature. At this temperature an object would radiate light with a wavelength equal to the Planck length. For a higher temperature, the radiation wavelength would be smaller than the Planck length which is not possible, all current physical laws break down beyond these Planck units. If we want to find out whether a higher temperature is possible, we'd have to use a theory of quantum gravity which is currently not known.

    I'd say yes. And that's the initial temperature of the universe at the end of Planck Time, about E-43 seconds. That initial temperature is in the order of about T=10^13 deg K; that's ten trillion degrees. [www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/BBhistory.ht... I claim that's the max temperature as it represents a moment when the universe was all energy. Which means there is no more energy to add; so there is no more temperature to add. And that's a max.

    Temperature is a per unit measurement of a particular amount of radiative Power entering one atom for one second of absorption time.The per unit of measurement is called one degree absolute. Absolute zero means that the electron orbiting the Nucleus of a gas atom has radiated its max mass lows and has come close to orbit the atom at the speed of light. We cannot really maintain absolute zero for very long because its the zero point of equilibrium,hence any out side minute disturbance would cause a change of Temperature. Our Creator put a sentinel so temperature have a limits for all mass structures in the Universe

    Temperature is a thermodynamic property related to the average motion of atoms. Temperature is higher when those atoms move faster and have more energy. If they have enough energy, the atoms will form a black hole. That would be the theoretical maximum temperature. I don't know what that temperature is.

    none that I've ever heard ..........................

    maybe the temperature at which the smallest particle is turned into energy. The temperature in the very beginning of the Big Bang maybe.

    No but there may be a point where the distinction between T and T+1 becomes meaningless

    Yes, I read a very good article about it...when you add enough energy into the system weird things start to happen...I just don't remember what that high maximum temperature is

    NO
