eg: water.

at 50 degrees C, i would still consider this 'hot', but it can still be heated further.

The proper term for this appliance is "water heater." However, you can have a "hot water heater" if you're taking water that is considered "hot," above 120 degrees F and heat it to boiling. But then you'd have a boiler that that point.

In order to keep it hot, you have to heat it.

Well it's pretty hot here when it's like 90 degrees out. But when it's getting to like 100 degrees, its ridiculous. Then agai we're talking about water. So idk.

Actually, there are water heaters that have no tank inside, that heat the water as it's running through the pipes. Renai has one like that (yes, I used to listen to Paul Harvey).

Is there a limit on how hot something can get, like the opposite of absolute zero?

Actually, something can be heated at an infinite temperature. There are four states of matter in the universe: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Plasma is basically superheated gaseous material.

(That's just the Star Trek fan in me coming out here.)

Lol, yea I knew about plasma, but I still wasn't sure about the whole infinite heat thing.

I still say it's boiling.
