Does Absolute Zero Affect Aging Like Twin Theory?

Click For Summary
The discussion explores the relationship between temperature, motion, and aging, drawing parallels with the Twin Theory, where traveling at high speeds results in slower aging. It questions whether absolute zero, which halts microscopic motion, could lead to faster aging. The conversation highlights that while time dilation is linked to bulk motion, the effects of temperature involve incoherent microscopic motion that remains unaffected by coordinate transformations. This suggests a complex interplay between temperature and time that differs from the effects of velocity on aging. The inquiry raises intriguing questions about the nature of time and aging in extreme conditions.

I was just wondering. With the Twin Theory, with the person traveling at the speed of light causes them to age slower. So I wondered, does that mean that something would age faster if at absolute zero? Because I've heard that motion is relative to temperature, and time is relative to velocity...

The motion associated with temperature is incoherent microscopic motion which cannot be removed by a coordinate transformation, the motion associated with time dilation is bulk motion which can be removed by a coordinate transformation.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
