  • Cool things happen at low temperatures. In this StarTalk explainer, we’re cooling things down - way down. But how cold can we actually get? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the limits of temperature and a lot more.
    You’ll learn why there’s really no limit of how hot you can make something. On the flip side, we dive into why making things colder is a different story. How do you create a place where there is no heat? You’ll find out more about the Kelvin scale or absolute temperature scale.
    Neil takes us through the process of cooling things down. Discover the differences between temperature and heat energy. We explore the vibration of particles and dip our toes into Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Then, Neil tells us why we can never philosophically or theoretically reach absolute zero.
    To wrap things up, we investigate what happens when quantum physics take over. Discover more about superfluidity. All that, plus, you’ll hear about the Bose-Einstein condensate and how we can “shape-shift” matter.

      @Martin willemse you cannot go faster than the speed of light because LIGHT CANNOT GO FASTER THAN LIGHT,remember that. Anything that has mass cannot reach the speed of light,and the universe in the future will expand at the speed of light at which point we cannot even see distant galaxies or even stars "but no object is actually moving through the Universe faster than the speed of light. The Universe is expanding, but the expansion doesn't have a speed; it has a speed-per-unit-distance, which is equivalent to a frequency, or an inverse time" nothing can break the universal speed limit.You can warp space,you can quantum tunnel,you can create wormholes BUT YOU CAN'T GO FASTER THAN LIGHT. The galaxy maybe is moving with the expansion but the speed which it goes through space is not lightspeed, maybe lets say 170 mp/s,thats really fast,infact our galaxy is hurdling through space at about 130 mp/s but it doesnt go as fast as the universe is expanding right?

    I was on the Jersey shore once in an unusually cold June, and the beaches were empty. But I saw that the parking lots were huge. I started thinking about how all those people in the cities are like molecules in the kinetic theory of gases. Raise the temperature a bit and those people start getting more active and the most energetic of those people start expanding out onto the beaches.

      I can hypothesize what below zero would be. But first, it's just easier to start with nuclear physics. What is a nuclear bomb? What is an electromagnetic thermonuclear bomb? A regular bomb is a 3d bomb and a nuclear bomb is a 4d bomb that either implodes or explodes the 4th dimension in a nuclear chain reaction. An electromagnetic nuclear bomb decreases the electrical charge of the gravitational field of space through the magnetic field. This pushes the gravitational force of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the gravitational force of the mass of space into the area of the mass of space where electrical charge is decreased without the "cushion" of the gravitational field of energy to slow down the impact with the force of acceleration and all things in motion stay in motion. So now to below zero. When we get the breaking point of where all things in motion are staying in motion because the gravitational field of energy is no longer pushing mass apart we have universal collapse. Take a step back and go to the geometrical shape of space. Space is expressed as parallel circles with infinite curvature forming flat parallel lines in the interior surface, accelerated expansion in the parameter functioning, and the gravitational field of a singularity observed in its gravitational field of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. A circle around a circle until infinity always accelerates and expands. Infinite and zero are non-observable in 3 dimensions and we observe them by measuring them over time to differentiate. Infinite is non-observable over time and zero is. Zero has no beginning and no end. Infinite is both the beginning and end. The beginning of infinite curvature is also the end. So the singularity forms a flat parallel line between each edge of the sphere that forms flat parallel lines. A single instance of infinite temperature at all points of space. But, when there is explosion, the mass, density, and volume of the singularity do not increase. So the universe inside the singularity at the point of universal implosion is negative infinite while the singularity remains infinite. Like a negative and positive charge.

      You seem to think I care about how you make a nuclear bomb. I don't. I don't care one bit. And I also don't care how much c4 you have, you're never going to effect the gravitational field. Nuclear bombs merely have the difference of a chain reaction that effects spacetime and not just space.
      And you can explode cra* all day, it's never really going to do anything to the universe as a whole because that is how the universe was created. Expansion.
      Now..use magnetism and decrease electrical charge and the universe will implode because the gravitational field deflates.

    But this is how exactly how I teach. There are certain common speeds at which kids and students hear something, grasp it and then internalise it. A good teacher will find that rhythm and will never go too fast or too slow. If you go too slow, your intelligent kids' minds will wander and they will end up missing bits of information or fail to form a cohesive picture. If you go too quickly less intelligent kids will just fall behind because they never have time to process and internalise information.

      Unfortunately he explains it in a way which is not entirely correct.
      Absolute zero is well defined in quantum mechanics with an example being in complete darkness, the optical system is in a Quantum Ground State and the thermal reservoir of optical photons is zero kelvin.
      The more important concept as above is the Quantum Ground State, the lowest energy state of a system. No temperature is defined for a pure quantum ground state because the state is known, and temperature is dependent on the system (in many systems the QGS energy is just above absolute zero).

      The poetry of Sagan's thoughts, along with his childlike wonderment and love of solving mystery, make me cry cathartic tears of appreciation of the beauty of our universe. Regularly, every few minutes in the middle of something he's narrating, I vicariously feel the emotion behind the words he uses to describe his personal search for truth and the waterworks start for me.

    Tysons are the unofficial unit to measure the degree of interesting educational physics conversations. It has an absolute zero and no upper limit denoted as a "#Ty".

    As a high school teacher, I explained why measuring angles in degrees was rather arbitrary. Then their task was to come up with their own unit of measurement, tell me how many of that unit would make a circle, and give me a method to convert from degrees into that unit. I used this to then jump into radians. It got their brains thinking in a way so they could more easily accept a different form of measurement for angles.

    Heisenberg and Schrodinger get pulled over by a cop. The cop asks them, "Do you know how fast you were going?" to which Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know exactly where I am."
    The cop then says, "You were going 85 in a 65." to which Heisenberg throws up his hands and exclaims, "Great! Now we're lost!"
    The cop gets suspicious and asks to have the trunk opened, and finds a dead cat. The cop then asks, "Did you know that you have a dead cat in your trunk?" to which Schrodinger shouts, "Well, we do now!"

    He answered the last question, even without realizing it. The Tyson measurement could be units of personal education.
    Me- "How was school today?"
    My kid- "Oh it was good, I added 3 Tysons to my overall education."
    How to define a unit may be tricky though.

      @Non Non I'm a virology major, so no, I don't watch these kind of videos, and it just highlights how ignorant and conceited you are that you would assume so. Even so I see no reason not to watch these kind of these videos whenever they pop up into my recommended, if you have a differing opinion, please state it so.
