or:How could Large Hadron Collider bear tens of trillions degrees centigrade?
or:This is not the temperature of the machine. The high energy carried by the particles is released during the collisions which happen in a vacuum.
or:Most of the science you hear these days is \"gee whiz\" science. They tell you impossible temperatures because they assume you are too stupid to understand electron volts. In fact, they are too stupid to explain what they really mean. Albert Einstein said \"If you can't explain what you know so a bar maid understands it, you don't know it.\"What they mean is they measured a speed of something and converted that to an equivalent temperature. It does not mean an actual temperature, since temperature is defined as random motion, and speed is not random. Matter falls apart around ten thousand degrees, so anything above that temperature is only a \"gee whiz\" factoid.
