I don't know...Eye lids are said to be the fastest moving part of the body

exactly...nerves are what makes you move though when the body feels like you are in danger

I shall agree that you are correct
you outsmarted me. For a second though, i lost track off what you had said. But now that i re read it...i see that you are correct

Second, how did we measure 2 billion degrees?
Probably by measuring the wavelength of the radiation it emitted.
I'm not entirely positive about this, but they could have measured the wavelength of the radiation emitted. That's how they measure the temperatures of distant stars, and it's fairly uniform. We all produce heat and glow in infrared. When you get hotter stuff though, it'll creep up the spectrum from visible, to ultraviolet, to x-rays, to gamma rays, and then to 'cosmic rays' (basically anything with more energy than gamma rays). To put it into perspective, our sun peaks in the yellow end of the spectrum and 'visible light' (which is why that is what we can see; wouldn't be much use to see what the sun doesn't emit). Neutron stars and stars getting sucked into black holes emit a bit of x-rays. These wavelengths correspond to the energy (heat) which produced them, and that is my guess for how they measured this.
Yay. I feel smart.

*basks in non-existant glory which is really cspaces*
Ya know what i think is really weird..? Dunno if its been answered anywhere though.
They said that they had that thing submerged in water and oil, ya? Why didnt it all just like... Instantly evaporate because of that insanely high temperature..?
