How does negative absolute temperature work?

976 views

Of course you can’t reach absolute zero, but theoretically you could go below it, and reach a form of temperature that works opposite to how our temperature works in terms of energy, but… what would it look like? I’m having a little trouble visualizing it. Would my hand heat up or cool down, and would it the negative value just keep rising?

Absolute zero is when all subatomic particles stop moving. There is no movement, no energy, no heat. How could you go below that?
