Bayou Tiger LSU Fan The Woodlands, TX Member since Nov 2003 3001 posts	Temperature below Absolute Zero is Infinitely Hot (Posted on 1/4/13 at 8:35 pm) Science gets colder than absolute zero quote: "The inverted Boltzmann distribution is the hallmark of negative absolute temperature, and this is what we have achieved," said researcher Ulrich Schneider, a physicist at the University of Munich in Germany. "Yet the gas is not colder than zero kelvin, but hotter. It is even hotter than at any positive temperature — the temperature scale simply does not end at infinity, but jumps to negative values instead."

waiting4saturday LSU Fan Baton Rouge Member since Sep 2005 2537 posts	re: Temperature below Absolute Zero is Infinitely Hot (Posted on 1/4/13 at 8:42 pm to Bayou Tiger) So cold it burns? ETA: I thought absolute zero was impossible because that meant no molecular motion? This post was edited on 1/4 at 8:44 pm

Notro LSU Fan Alison Brie's Boobs Member since Sep 2011 3913 posts	re: Temperature below Absolute Zero is Infinitely Hot (Posted on 1/4/13 at 8:42 pm to Bayou Tiger) quote: Absolute zero is often thought to be the coldest temperature possible. But now researchers show they can achieve even lower temperatures for a strange realm of "negative temperatures." Oddly, another way to look at these negative temperatures is to consider them hotter than infinity, researchers added. This post was edited on 1/4 at 8:45 pm

Me either. The GIF was my reaction after reading this and remembering why I don't open science articles.

I read about this a day or two ago. Figured it had to have already been posted here. I guess it was just from last night. Still surprised it hasn't been posted. This post was edited on 1/4 at 8:58 pm
