    Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature where atoms are completely at rest, transmitting no thermal energy. It is defined as 0 Kelvin or -273.15°C. While absolute zero cannot be fully achieved, scientists have developed methods to get closer to it, where matter exhibits strange quantum effects. The concept of an absolute cold was first proposed in 1665 and explored by physicists until Lord Kelvin established the temperature scale relating to absolute zero based on thermodynamics. Some substances become superfluids near absolute zero, with unusual properties.

    ABSOLUTE ZERO

    What is absolute zero ?


    Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature. It is the point at
    which the atoms of a substance transmit no thermal energy - they
    are completely at rest. It is zero degrees on the Kelvin scale, which
    translates to -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees
    Fahrenheit.
    The concept of an "absolute cold" was first presented by Robert
    Boyle in his 1665 New Experiments and Observations touching
    Cold. Various physicists explored this phenomenon, until Lord
    Kelvin derived his thermodynamic temperature scale, extrapolating
    backward to absolute zero based purely on the laws of
    thermodynamics.
    Some substances, when cooled to near-absolute zero temperatures,
    reach a state of matter known as a superfluid and exhibit strange
    properties.
    While scientists can not fully achieve a state of zero heat energy
    in a substance, they have made great advancements in achieving
    temperatures ever closer to absolute zero (where matter exhibits
    odd quantum effects).

    Zero Kelvin (-273 Celcius)


    can be defined as absolute
