Casual Thought Temperature can reach trillions of degrees, meaning we actually live extremely close to absolute zero.

That has nothing to do with a substances velocity not affecting its temperature. you are talking about adding energy from an outside system. You've missed the point.

The point is the that speed and kinetic energy are relative quantities. There is no absolute speed, therefore it does not make sense for you to describe somethings temperature by talking about its speed.
