Organic matter in absolute zero?

Click For Summary
When an apple is placed in space, it freezes due to the extremely low temperatures, although space itself is not at absolute zero. The discussion highlights that living organisms, including animals and humans, also freeze when exposed to very low temperatures. The concept of absolute zero is clarified, emphasizing that space does not reach this temperature. The effects of freezing on organic matter are briefly mentioned, focusing on the physical state changes. Overall, the conversation centers on the freezing process of organic materials in low-temperature environments.

For example, what happens if you put an apple in space? Or what happens when animals (or people) are frozen to very low temperatures?

Hi there,

They simply get frozen up.

By the way, space is not at absolute zero.

Cheers
 

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
