What happens at absolute zero? - physics-math - 17 February 2010 - New Scientist
Absolute zero is when all warmth is removed from an object. basically it turns it into matter that is devoid of any heat, making it the coldest substance in the universe. It is the absolute freezing point. it is thought that space, as a vacuum is at absolute zero at all times, but since no one can live in space without the proper equipment, no one will ever know. And since absolute zero cannot be obtained by current scientific means, we wont know what it is like until we are able to.
basically the theory behind absolute zero is like in that movie the Day After Tomorrow, when everything freezes instantly, just magnify that by i'd say about infinite times. Flash freeze on an epic level.
Absolute zero, like the speed of light, is a mathematical limit. Nothing should be at absolute zero.
Exactly Alex, but it still remains that it is theorized and therefore will be widely accepted by the scientific community, but never made a law, which is why it is a theory since it is a mathmatical annomoly. Nothing can, or ever will be on the Kelvin scale, 0. It isnt possible.Quote:

So... Absolute Zero is very cold? or a temperature?
Sorry but im just 13 i dont know these stuff
Its a status as far as I know.Quote:

It is pretty self explanatory.
@Viper+Snow: Absolute Zero is the coldest temperature possible. It is the start of the Kelvenic scale of temperature. Kelvin starts at zero and goes up. So in theory it is what the lowest possible temperature ever recorded would be.
Absolute zero is just a damn number they come up with to make them look like they're doing something. It's the temperature at which everything stops, heat doesn't exist, and blah blah blah. They don't know if this will really happen, however, it's impossible to test it. Basically, it's like freezing point, without proof...Quote:

When the universe stops expanding it will have cooled to absolute zero and the whole thing will just stop. Time, space, planet, ect. everything just stops. There is ample evidence that this is the fate of our universe. There are only two real theories to the way the universe ends either it stops expanding or it recoils back into singularity. I remember that the expand theory is the one with far more evidence and that there is some huge flaw with the recoil one.Quote:

Absolute zero is when all atomic vibration stops. When things get colder, atomic vibration slows down. Sure it can't be proven, but can you prove that nothing can go faster than the speed of light?Quote:

At above post, I haven't done much reading on it, but you make it out as though the nanosecond absolute zero is reached, the entire universe will be doomed. I strongly doubt that is the case. I doubt the theory you talk about has a lot of scientific merit either way. Mind linking me to a reputable article/source?
I'll look for an article that's from my physics professor and my astronomy professor.Quote:

If I recall they have evidence that cooling is happening and that there isn't the force or energy for the crush to happen so most people lean toward the freeze. Also um, there is some anomaly that exist, it might be dark matter but I recall it involving spots in space giving off massive radiation and nothing being there that in the crush theory can't exist but can in the freeze.
So it's a simple 0 on the Kelvin Scale.
