If you would just put your bricks in the kitchen oven you would make rapid
progress with this question.
Better yet, obtain a laboratory hot plate with fine temperature control and
put a brick between two slides with a weight on top. Do this at several
temperatures and observe the rate of deformation.
As a crude experiment, chop up a brick and pack it into a small crucible.
You should be able to fuse the particles in a kitchen oven at about 500 F,
but without applied pressure they will be easy to pull apart again.
Remember, experience without theory teaches nothing, so look up those terms
after you've been forbidden to put any more objects in the oven.

I am in total agreement with this, including the 'you' (as long as it's not
'me'... advancement of science is fine but I ain't putting my bricks in no
oven thank you)

Yes, I can see how this would help the progress of scientific knowledge, but
realize that technic pieces are hard to come by in the first place these
days.. you cannot walk into your local toystore and pick up a supercar...
that I'll take the pure conjecture that LEGO bricks melt at high
temperatures and not actually research this myself to see if it's true.
For once I'll believe the axiom without trying to prove it myself.
