SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the feasibility of constructing a container to isolate cosmic radiation and achieve absolute zero (0 Kelvin) to halt atomic movement. Participants clarify that while physicists have reached temperatures as low as 0.5 nK, complete isolation from cosmic radiation and halting atomic activity does not equate to stopping time. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding scientific principles over fictional portrayals, such as those in "Steins;Gate." Ultimately, the thread concludes that misconceptions about time and atomic activity need to be addressed for a clearer understanding of the topic.
