Absolute zero has not been achieved, temperature is simply proportional to the speed of the molecules, and absolute zero is the temperature that corresponds to a molecule that is not moving at all. While it happens all the time instantanously, we cannot get groups of molecules to stop moving altogether. We have gotten molecules extremely close to that speed using magnets to pull energy from molecules.

Is 0 kelvin the coldest temperiture ever recorded?

No, 0 Kelvin is the absolute coldest temperature possible in the universe, known as absolute zero. However, it has never been achieved in reality, as it is only a theoretical temperature. The coldest temperature recorded on Earth is around -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.2 degrees Celsius) in Antarctica.


When does absolute zero occur?

Absolute zero is the theoretically coldest temperature. It is not possible to actually achieve absolute zero, only to approach it. In laboratory experiments, temperatures below one microkelvin have been achieved - i.e., less than a millionth of a degree above absolute zero.


Has absolute zero ever been obtained?

Yes, absolute zero (-273.15°C or 0 Kelvin) has been achieved in laboratory settings using techniques like adiabatic demagnetization cooling or laser cooling. This temperature is the lowest possible on the Kelvin scale, where molecular motion theoretically stops.


Do Hindu believe in absolute truth?

yes, hindus certainly believe that highest understanding has been achieved. But it can only be achieved by meditation.


What is meant by the absolute zero of temperature?

Absolute zero is achieved when the atoms in a substance stop moving completely. At -273.15C or -459.67F. True absolute zero cannot be reached, but it can be approached to within a few millionths of a degree.


Why is absolute zero unattainable?

To lower the temperature, you have to move heat from warmer to colder. If you were trying to cool something down to absolute zero, you would have to have a sink that was even colder. Absolute zero is a state where all the energy has been removed - and you can't get less than no energy, so you can't have a sink to absorb energy from something above absolute zero to reduce it to absolute zero. ... there are other explanations, but I've observed that this one is often the easiest for people to grasp.


What does the absolute temperature scale use as its reference temperature?

-459.67 F Which is absolute zero and that is the temperature at which all molecular activity stops.


Is there absolute maximum temperature like absolute zero minimum temperature?

No.


What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.


Has anything ever been taken to the temperature of absolute zero?

yes, a rubber chicken has


Has the Bose-Einstein Condensate ever been achieved?

Yes. It is now regularly achieved, despite the fact that the required temperature is less than a microkelvin.


How is absolute zero and 0 k the same?

Absolute zero and 0 K are the same because they both represent the lowest possible temperature that can be theoretically achieved, at which point all molecular motion stops. Both measurements indicate a complete absence of thermal energy.
