Absolute Zero: Absolute Awesome

Hank explains absolute zero: -273.15 degrees Celsius - and the coldest place in the known universe may surprise you.

10 years after and still better than most content out there.

False. The coldest place in the universe is located in my ex's heart.

Did you hear about the time someone chilled down to absolute zero?
Well he's 0K now!

[ramuk]

I gasped every time he said "degree Kelvin."

[EdricoftheWeald]

I can deduce that the coldest place in the universe is my tent when I go camping.

11 years has elapsed, and we now have the James Web telescope that is consistently being cooled just 6 degrees above absolute zero. Crazy how we once thought it may be impossible!

[gorgono]

So basically if we reach the absolute zero, than we can tell the exact position of atoms and electrons right? And lets say we have a room where it is 0 Kelvin and we put a human in it, then this human will never get old, because at 0 Kelvin there is no motion, all molecules stand still, or will the human just fall apart?

[BBand]

Stop saying "degrees" Kelvin!

[CJ-obkv]

I guess you could say, we're the coolest planet in the universe?

I like how most of the comments talk about ex-girlfriends

"You can't reach Absolute Zero. I know. I tried."
- Sub Zero.

You should have gone a tad deeper as to what happens to particals when they reach 0 degrees. It's kinda mindblowing and it also tends to be somewhat of a mindfuck.

I just love it that you use Celsius, kilograms and the metric scale in your videos.

Hank: We know the temperature of absolute zero
Me: 0 Kelvin
Hank: -273 Celsius
Me: GODDAMNIT! I thought I had that one!

[dani]

Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out what the Kelvin scale is, for a while, now, and now I finally understand. You have a way with explaining things.

I like your show because it's simple enough for someone who hasn't encountered the topic before to understand it, and yet hinted enough so that the others can research some more independently. Well done Mr scishow, whose name I always forget. Thank you also crewmembers

[margingerich]

I just have to say, I've had kind of a tough day, but scishow videos, along with rereading TFIOS, never fail to help, so... thank you, for making this awesome happen. :) also, I like how the comments in this video are actually interesting questions-some of them, at least. You don't find that in many youtube comment sections lol

[brendenshackelton]

did you hear about the chemist that was cooled to absolute zero? he was 0K

[seska]

Please do a longer episode explaining this in more detail with more research! This stuff fascinates me! Why is it the coldest temperature? Why did the universe decide that's as cold as things get?

[theredkey]

Absolute zero is not impossible. Because it is reached in our house the winter. Absolutely PERFECT for stubbing your toe on a wooden object in winter
