Is it true that some organisms survive extreme heat?
Yes. An encyclopedia entry states that microbial life survives extraordinarily hot environments, and a tardigrade study reports survival up to 85°C in the tun state. Other items show heat-resistant bacterial spores and heatwave survival in mussels.
