Is there an opposite of absolute zero temperature?




That is do we have a highest possible temperature in the universe?

We know we have a lowest possible temperature  [−273.15° Celsius] when all particles of the system have no kinetic energy at all.

I was wondering is there an opposite of absolute zero and looked up in the net.

These two articles discuss this. Apparently it goes to the heart of physics!

Current contender is Planck temperature at

PBS - absolute hot
