D

Sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm "absolutely" sure lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wasn't that pun...cool?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes hahaha cx lol thanks :)

np

but to be honest, there was a new research paper stating we've reached NEGATIVE Kelvin, which is mind blowing b/c the Kelvin scale is supposed to be just positive. So you may think that we had to cross absolute zero Kelvin before going to the negative range but nope. The physicists just skipped 0 and went to the negative range so nothing was violated.

And even more crazier, these "negative" Kelvin temperatures aren't cold at all, despite the "negative" (thus it's a misnomer). Objects with negative Kelvin temperatures are actually HOTTER than any object with a positive Kelvin temperature. So this means if you bring a neg Kelvin temp object close to the sun, it would actually suck energy FROM the sun lol it's crazy I know

Okay okay thanks cx haha
