Hottest Temperature EVER

Sorry that this is not our current unit, but I am taking astronomy next year, and I thought this was pretty cool.  Scientists in New York recently created the hottest temperature ever recorded in an attempt to mimic the first moments directly after the big bang.  The temperature, created using a 2.4 mile long collider, was a whopping 4 trillion, yes, trillion, degrees celsius.  This lasted only a few milliseconds, but it still provides valuable information about how the universe was formed.  The temperature was created by knocking together gold ions creating a super-hot explosion.  The ions were knocked together by a giant particle smasher.  To put this temperature in perspective, the suns core is 50 million degrees celsius.  But after a certain point, it doesn't really matter.  I do not know about you, but I do not like it when it gets hotter than 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
