Organic matter in absolute zero?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effects of extreme low temperatures on organic matter, specifically addressing the freezing of apples and living organisms in space. It is established that organic matter, such as apples and animals, freezes when exposed to very low temperatures. Additionally, it is clarified that space itself is not at absolute zero, which is a common misconception.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics and temperature scales
  • Basic knowledge of the properties of organic matter
  • Familiarity with the concept of absolute zero
  • Awareness of the conditions in outer space
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of cryopreservation on organic matter
  • Explore the concept of absolute zero and its implications in physics
  • Investigate the temperature conditions in outer space
  • Study the biological effects of freezing on living organisms
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, biologists interested in cryobiology, and anyone curious about the effects of extreme temperatures on organic materials.

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
