Is absolute zero nothing? Can a quanta exist in nothing? There could be no quantum fluctuations at absolute zero.
Is anything nothing? Never.GregoryC said:Is absolute zero nothing?
Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature that can be achieved, at which point all molecular motion stops.
Because at absolute zero, there is no molecular motion, which means there is no energy or heat present. This is why it is often referred to as "nothing".
Absolute zero is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius and -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Absolute zero was first theorized by scientists in the 18th century, but it was not until the 19th century that it was experimentally proven by scientists such as Lord Kelvin.
Absolute zero is crucial in fields such as cryogenics and in the study of superconductors. It also helps us understand the behavior of gases under extreme conditions.
