Is there an opposite to absolute zero?

Posted in Physics, Science by (kb) on May 27, 2008

Seems like an innocent enough question, right? Absolute zero is 0 on the Kelvin scale, or −273.15 on the Celsius (centigrade) scale. Absolute zero is also precisely equivalent to 0 °R on the Rankine scale (also a thermodynamic temperature scale), and −459.67 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.

But is there a corresponding maximum possible temperature?
