How do you even measure 120 million degrees?

Probably from quite some distance…

Interestingly, I don’t know.

I assume they wouldn’t measure it by comparison with the temperature at the centre of a H-bomb, that’s 500 million degrees.
The hydrogen fuel of one of those has to be preheated to 70 to 100 million degrees before it starts to burn.

I’m guessing you put a piece of bread on a stick and measure the distance that it becomes toast. Then you calculate backwards from there.

Finally, a sensible suggestion.

I think it would be slightly more complex; involving distance of bread from centre, time elapsed, water content of bread and strength of the resulting colouring. Should easily be covered by an ordinary differential equation (ode).

Maybe this temp wouldn’t toast your buns. depends on the pressure of the gas. not many atoms equals not much thermal energy.

How do we measure 15 million degrees?

not wanting to be a wet blanket…but…

has anyone told these guys about GLOBAL WARMING ?

I asked an astrophysicist.

Is this your favourite astrophysicist or have you been unfaithful?
