Question

since there is something called absolute zero is there any thing called absolute hundred?

Answer 1

Do you know what absolute zero actually is? If you know that, you can definitely tell whether or not there is an absolute hundred..

Answer 2

Absolute zero is the idea that you can cool something down to the point where there is no movement. Temperature is just the average kinetic energy of particles, or simply put, the amount of vibration atoms and molecules make. The colder they are, the less they shake around, and eventually at absolute zero, movement stops. However, no one's ever gotten down to that cold yet, but very, very close to it.

Absolute zero is on the Kelvin scale which has the same degree of temperature as Celsius, except that at 0 degrees Celsius you are at 273.15 Kelvin. As far as we know, there's no limit on how hot something can get, but in the large hadron collider we've achieved temperatures of 10 billion million degrees celsius, but only for split seconds.

Answer 3

ok fair enough answer. thanks but i was just wondering if things stopped when changing state after it reached steam.

Answer 4

@kainui you say, ....." However, no one's ever gotten down to that cold yet, but very, very close to it."..... But I would like to correct you here.. Its true that matters can't exist in gaseous form at -273 degree Celsius or 0 kelvin... All gases either solidify or liquefy at 0 kelvin.. But we do have substances at absolute zero.. And @Roku the substances don't stop changing state after it reaches steam.. In which state do you think matters exist on surfaces of stars at such a high temperature? Heard about plasma? It is the fourth state.. you may like this if you want to get deeper in it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

Answer 5

@ujjwal thanks for your input. XD

Answer 6

@ujjwal When have we ever achieved absolute zero?

Answer 7

thanks @kainui I was wrong about it..
Well, The current world record was set in 1999 at 100 picokelvins (pK), or 0.000 000 000 1 of a kelvin, by cooling the nuclear spins in a piece of rhodium metal

Answer 8

what were you wrong about?

Answer 9

I was wrong when i said that we do have substances at absolute zero....

Answer 10

oh okay. thanks much
