A thin piece of gold reached 33,740 degrees Fahrenheit, which is more than 14 times higher than its melting point, by being rapidly heated—and it didn't melt
High temperature/energy leads to entropy/liquification, but I think what this experiment demonstrated is there’s a short delay or “entropy build up curve” between high amounts of energy and the “transmission” of entropy through the solid molecular structure to a liquid state.
It’s a subtle distinction.

I’m not sure if I’m wording all this correctly.
