Absolute hotness
I was reading about the quest for absolute zero temperature in 快猫短视频 (18 March, p 10). Is there an equivalent maximum temperature? If so, what is it? And how could one reach it?

Spin a yarn
All astronomical bodies, from moons and planets up to galaxies, spin and have orbits. Spin is also a key characteristic of subatomic particles. Yet in our human world, we are relatively static. Why is spin unimportant for us, but at other levels it is all-pervasive? How do the laws of physics make our biosphere so special?
