Energy Quote by Wolfgang Ketterle
“Zero kelvin is the lowest possible temperature. At absolute zero, all motion comes to a standstill. It is obvious that a lower temperature is not feasible because there is no velocity smaller than zero and no energy content less than nothing.”
About This Quote
Source Scientific Concept: Absolute Zero, Physics; null.55Kel5555 the temperature where particles cease motion; no lower energy state exists.
At absolute zero, particles stop moving and temperature cannot go lower.
In simple terms: Absolute zero is the ultimate low temperature limit.
