SUMMARY

The discussion explores the theoretical implications of reaching absolute zero and its connection to black holes and special relativity. Participants clarify that absolute zero cannot be achieved due to the Uncertainty Principle, which prevents particles from having both zero momentum and a defined position. The conversation also touches on the thermodynamic properties of black holes, referencing Bekenstein and Hawking's work on black hole thermodynamics, and emphasizes that black holes do not require exceeding the speed of light. The relationship between temperature, energy, and black holes remains a complex and unresolved topic in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Uncertainty Principle in quantum mechanics
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and its laws
  • Familiarity with black hole thermodynamics, including Bekenstein and Hawking's theories
  • Concepts of special relativity and its implications on time and speed
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Uncertainty Principle and its implications on temperature and energy states
  • Study Bekenstein and Hawking's contributions to black hole thermodynamics
  • Explore the concept of Bose-Einstein Condensate and its relation to absolute zero
  • Investigate the transformation properties of temperature in special relativity
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, particularly those interested in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the theoretical aspects of black holes and special relativity.

I'm guessing you don't believe in the fourth dimension either then. Fourth dimension is something that cannot be comprehended in our 3 dimensional universe. What you're stating is the blatant fact that without evidence you refuse to imagine further than that. As a much older person (I presume) that way might have worked, but I'm wondering what if something "impossible" happens. Black holes are the perfect example. There is no evidence as to its properties. Why? Black holes are not observable. In fact, black holes are the only comprehension to giant holes in spacetime; nothing more than that proves the existence of black holes. If you believe in the fourth dimensiton and black holes, care to at least wonder what will happen? Well, this post is pretty much tired itself out so you don't have to answer my question. I just wanted to "vent" my spontaneous question as to what will happen at absolute zero (slight infringement of forum rules, but please let slip by!).
