I read that scientists created a substance that was below absolute zero. How is that possible? Is it some mathematical quirk in how they calculate temperature, or can it actually be said to be physically ‘colder’ than something at absolute zero? What are alternate definitions of temperature
In: Physics
Beyond the physics here, be aware that scientists like to play games with definitions and categories. A lot.
They break the speed of light, reverse time, create negative energy, raise the dead and do all kinds of other “impossible” things all the time…using technical loopholes and novel definitions that don’t actually break the laws of physics. In fact, they often don’t even claim to do any of these things, it is often a headline written by a ignorant editor for a story written by a science illiterate journalist based on information provided by a slimy university PR flak.
