Is there a place with no temperature?

There is no place with 0K (absolute zero), where K is the temperature scale Kelvins. This is achievable in vacuum with no particles at all, inclusive of electromagnetism.

Is there anywhere that is absolute zero?

Nothing in the universe — or in a lab — has ever reached absolute zero as far as we know. Even space has a background temperature of 2.7 kelvins. But we do now have a precise number for it: -459.67 Fahrenheit, or -273.15 degrees Celsius, both of which equal 0 kelvin.

Is there anything colder than absolute zero?

No! Nothing can be colder than absolute zero (0K)! Negative absolute temperatures (or negative Kelvin temperatures) are hotter than all positive temperatures - even hotter than infinite temperature.

What is the closest we've gotten to absolute zero?

The exact temperature scientists measured was 38 trillionths of a degree above -273 degrees Celsius — the closest that has ever been measured to absolute zero in a lab. Absolute zero in Kelvin, a temperature thought to be impossible for anything in the universe to reach, is -273.15 degrees Celsius.

Have we ever reached absolute 0?

Absolute zero cannot be achieved, although it is possible to reach temperatures close to it through the use of evaporative cooling, cryocoolers, dilution refrigerators, and nuclear adiabatic demagnetization.

What happens if we reach absolute zero?

In 1848, Lord Kelvin introduced the idea of absolute zero. This is the point at which the atoms in an object stop moving entirely and so can't get any colder.

At what temperature can humans no longer survive?

It has been widely believed that a 35°C wet-bulb temperature (equal to 95°F at 100% humidity or 115°F at 50% humidity) was the maximum a human could endure before they could no longer adequately regulate their body temperature, which would potentially cause heat stroke or death over a prolonged exposure.

What is the hottest thing in the universe?

The hottest thing in the Universe (Supernova)

Supernovas are the hottest thing in the Universe as they reach a million degrees Celsius. These explosive events occur when a star between 8 and 40 times more massive than our Sun reaches the end of its stellar lifecycle and explodes when its core collapses.

Do magnets work at absolute zero?

Below about -125°C, the strength then drops much more quickly. Still, even at temperatures near absolute zero, there is still a good deal of magnetic strength left. Even at the boiling point of liquid nitrogen, -196°C, there's still roughly 87% of the field strength you would find at room temperature.

Has Earth ever been extremely hot?

Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has often been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Conditions were also frequently sweltering between 500 million and 250 million years ago.
