The whole problem in a nutshell is the limits. Where exactly does the physical universe end and begin? Where does an atom end and begin?
The sky IS the limit for temperature and mass. Any object accelerating over c simply vanishes from one spectra and moves into another. Like stepping outside ones home with its walls and roof.
Energy travels in waves and the waves become so dense at C that the wavebacks now touch and disperse energy and travel in a new direction - they become solid & omnidirectional, forming yet a new wave train in a new, higher portion of an infinite spectra. You can twist a shoe lace and watch as it knots up and then the knots knot up...and on and on it would go forever if you had an endless shoelace.
That's all the galaxies are - giant energy knots on endless streams of energy. And along the galaxy arms the energy knots up and forms stars, and around stars planets form...and this condensation just keeps occuring.
When one views the physical universe, galaxies and planets as simply a small portion of the infinite universe fed by streams of energy both higher and lower, it makes it much easier to conceive the fallaciousness of any real borders, limits or barriers to the movement of energy.
We see light in our portion of the spectra, our own little knot, but we do not see how it behaves outside our portion.
And what's more, when you add relativity into the mix, you realize speed, temperature and mass are all relative and only have meaning when you compare them to another fixed quantity. Our entire universe and all the galaxies within it may be traveling trillions of times faster than light, but we cannot compare it or measure it to another quantity. So *you* almost assuredly are almost infinitely hot, of near infinite mass and infinite speed - and you would not even notice it - because to notice it you would need to compare it to an object of almost infinitely lower energy levels.
See how relativity now opens the universe up? ;-)

- A suggestion of mine for any theoretical physicist lurking.
- It depends on the density of matter.
- Is there no room for learning, differing opinions, even errors on the Space board?
- Limits
- I think maximum T is determined by the maximum number of angels that can dance on a hydrogen atom. (n/t)
- Total Codswallop
- Upper limits
- That should be 9.0 x 10^20 ergs / gram.in the derivation (n/t)
