Absolute Zero

Obviously.

That's the entire point of absolute zero: all life ceases to exist.

That was off topic and unnecessary. Please remember that this isn't the spam zone and your posts actually have to have purpose.
​

 

Actually... you would be dead. :/

Please put more thought into your posts here. Where we actually discuss issues on an intellitual level; as O R A N G E stated, thank you.

 

I was going to say that, but then I saw your post.

I asked my bro (High shcool graduate) about this. He said they've already found a way to get absolute zero, and it is liquid nitrogen. =/ I don't think so. What do you think?

 

Hmm...well, I think absolute zero might be possible...for only a small matter of particles...however, for the whole world or for a large part to actually reach 0 degree, we'd all be dead, so thus, I do not think that's possible. Maybe for a few particles, but not for a very large amount.

As for liquid nitrogen...I don't see how that's absolute 0...

 

In the future, it might be theoretically possible for a large area to reach absolute zero, but I don't see why it would ever be done seeing as everything in that area would die instantly if it happened.

Yeah, liquid nitrogen is nowhere near the same as absolute zero.

sorry i didn't think this was a serious thread

 

What led you to believe that?

This is in the Intelligent Discussion section. If you were to read the rules of the section that you're supposed to read before posting here, you would have realized that it was a serious section and therefore a serious thread.

As has been stated absolute zero is the point at which atoms lose all energy and stop vibrating. It has also been stated in this topic that for something to lose heat there has to be an imbalance between the matter and its surroundings.

Oh and temperature and heat are not the same thing.

Nothing special would happen tbh. It's just one of those quirky little things in science that they chase after, not really practical but fun all the asme (some may call it a pipe dream) =/

 

Hmm...I have read that they have reached it after all...And nothing happened.Besides,if they hadn't reached it how would they know that this is the smallest temperature that can be achieved...?

 

Becuase it's absolute zero. ABSOLUTE. When all atoms lose energy and stop moving. You can't go below absolute zero. That's like asking why you can't keep walking through a wall. You just can't.
​

 

Hmm...So what if they reach this temperature...?What's the big deal...?

 

WTF...? In school they taught us that the minimum temperature people have reached was -273 degrees, and that is absolute zero. Like muffin man said, this temperature has already been reached.

 

Could the people saying it's been achived place a link to an artical? I've heard from labs that we are coming very close but not actually reaching it.

 

Actually this was said in the book.

 

no it hasnt. theres still -274

 

You don't really get the concept of absolute zero.

Tempature is measurement of the averange movement of partacles. At 0 K movement stops entirely, so it is impossable for it to get any colder.

 

Thank you, at least there is one other person in this thread who is actually educated on the subject.

Nobody knows exactly what benefits it will produce since it has never been reached, which is what we are supposed to be discussing.
​

 

For those of you claiming Absolute Zero has been reacher please give me a link to the article of which you read/heard about this. As far as my knowledge goes, it has not been reached.

Please do not give me excuses, 'It was in a book.' You could easlily google the said text book and most likely find the section about it. :/

~Thank you

I do not think you are understanding the concept of our discussion. We are quite serious here; please come back with an understanding and knowledge on the issue at hand.

@ O R A N G E:

Thank you, for being responsible and mature.

 

I don't think it's ever been reached...it's a theoretical type thing. If I'm not mistaken, it's when no more energy can be removed from a substance, whether that be thermal energy, light energy...whatever. Either way, it would be REALLY hard to accomplish in a laboratory and definately in nature. It might have happened somewhere out in space, though.

 

I personally believe that once we do reach -273 that we will find things still move, I believe that once that happens we will get a new formula which will then state a new lower temp and we will spend the next 50 years getting to that.


I think that because we are so close to getting to 273 artificialy like always we will find there is more to go.
