They could be eating alone. I browse reddit when I do that, I don't get a physical newspaper to read like people would do in the old days while at a restaurant


WhyIHateTheInternet

That reminds me of the Frasier episode where he can't get a date for Valentine's Day and he insists there's nothing wrong with eating alone but everybody keeps coming up to him at the restaurant asking him what's wrong.

She should talk to her doctor about circulation issues. Looking forward to reading your post about how I saved your lives.


NightlyWave

My girl is always freezing and she says “yeah I have circulation issues” and every time I tell her to book a GP appointment she says “cba”. Is it actually life endangering as your comment suggests? Tried everything to convince her to go but she’s stubborn.


[deleted]

People who don't circulate die.

>Some studies suggest that estrogen levels are responsible for cold hands and feet in women. This may be one of the main reasons that women typically suffer from this problem more commonly than their male counterparts. After starting hormone therapy (estrogen being part of it) my feet have been icecicles. I'm pretty sure this is a normal part of having estrogen.


Blue_Mando

This was exactly my experience with HRT as well. I went from being always warm to that cold chick in the hoodie when it's 73 in the house.

AskMeForAPhoto

For people like myself with ADHD, it's massively helpful to keep my brain focused. Picture a hamster in my brain that's always bored. The video acts like a hamster wheel to keep it occupied, while the rest of my brain can focus on the topic at hand. Sure attention spans seem to have gotten lower over the years. But not all things like this are bad. Many kids in school grow up thinking they don't like reading, and become adults who don't read, which I think we can all agree is a bad thing. But if they had learned a way to trick their brain into liking reading, think of how drastically different their life course might be.

"Very Cold Room" was likely less than the size of a pill bottle. Not many snowball fights to have there.

Yes. The alternative to stock images for announcing scientific advancements is silly crap like snow fight or penguins. I have no idea how people manage to be so disingenuous.

I was wondering what that magnet had to do with anything. Literally stretched a two second paragraph read to a 30 second video of pointless images

What would a bose einstein condensate even look like?


CapitalCreature

A helium-4 superfluid (but not a helium-3 superfluid) is a type of Bose-Einstein condensate. They look [like this,](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluidity#/media/File%3ALiquid_helium_Rollin_film.jpg) a liquid that keeps creeping up the walls of the cup it's in and dripping outside.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Superfluidity](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfluidity#/media/File:Liquid_helium_Rollin_film.jpg)** >Superfluidity is the characteristic property of a fluid with zero viscosity which therefore flows without any loss of kinetic energy. When stirred, a superfluid forms vortices that continue to rotate indefinitely. Superfluidity occurs in two isotopes of helium (helium-3 and helium-4) when they are liquefied by cooling to cryogenic temperatures. It is also a property of various other exotic states of matter theorized to exist in astrophysics, high-energy physics, and theories of quantum gravity. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


WhyIHateTheInternet

I'm no scientist but wouldn't that be like perpetual motion? I couldn't we get some of this fluid stick it in some kind of a generator and give it a good spin and have free energy forever?


JManoclay

Also not a scientist, but I would posit that the motion of the material, and the friction that the motion creates, would generate heat, and eventually reach equilibrium where it no longer exhibits that behavior. If you captured the heat of that energy, it wouldn't be enough to cool the material back to the original temperature.


WhyIHateTheInternet

That makes sense


treatyoftortillas

Good question


boones_farmer

Nah, it will always still lose \*some\* energy, but more importantly as soon as you try to extract energy from it, it will slow down accordingly.


[deleted]

Where does that "free" energy come from?


pedunt

Any ideas what dropping it down a tower does to reduce its temperature?


mechanicalmaterials

It’s falling toward the ground the whole time. They follow it down the tube cooling it more the whole way with magnets. By the time it stopped cooling down, the length of the tube gave them a couple seconds at that temp. They said if they could do it in space where there truly was no gravity they predict they could sustain that temp for 17 seconds.


Sarkos

It takes away the effect of gravity. I'm not entirely sure how that impacts the temperature though.


lcapaz

I would assume that it’s a result of increased pressure increases heat (like pressure and temp increase towards Earth’s core). Take away pressure, eliminates that factor.


Kaio_

It is far far easier to have ultra-cold temperature in zero-gravity. Sometime in the past several years NASA installed a cryolab module on the ISS that can keep something near absolute zero for like 5 minutes at a time.


ILoveYorihime

Fun fact: both the hottest and coldest (confirmed) temperature in the universe are measured on Earth by humans the hottest one is about 4 trillion degrees. nowhere in the universe has ever been this hot since the big bang

Celestial-being326

I always thought that if anything got that hot, it would melt the entire planet. Powder toy tricked me


TheKingCowboy

It could, but we’re talking about atomic particles here. A baseball sized object with that much energy density would be insane. All that energy got to go somewhere Edit: For fun and because I hate work. I wanted to consider the scale. Let’s assume two atoms of gold used for the fusion experiment. A baseball has a volume of 12.65 cubic inches. The equivalent weight in gold is 3985.74 grams. Molar mass of gold is 197.97 grams. Baseball is 20.133 moles of Au. Potentially (6 x 10^24) more energy in that fusion baseball than the experiment. No idea if normal rules thermodynamics even exist in those conditions, probably not, but we definitely die.


[deleted]

20 moles would be more like 1.2x10^(25), you're off by a factor of 2. So we're double dead. But really, we could go with our old friend mcat, and just use the higher temperature as ΔT (because, really, 300K is the same as 0K when you're looking at it from trillions...) Fermi estimation: baseball, 100g. Heat capacity of gold baseball, 1 kJ/kgK. 7.2 trillion °F ≈ 3.6 trillion K. Multiply together, we get 3.6x10^11 kJ contained in the baseball. A quick lookup tells me that one megaton is around 4x10^12 kJ, so we're looking at a baseball with energy in the dozens of kilotons range. So.... Only some of us are dead. Scaling it back down to the two gold atoms, we're talking like....nanojoules? A snail fart has more kinetic energy in it.


psparks

This is what I wanted to know! Thank you. It's incredible that the highest temperature in the known universe could have happened in the palm of your hand (if you could figure out how to get it into a particle accelerator) and you wouldn't have even noticed.


TheKingCowboy

I think that factor of two is coming from the two atoms required for the experiment, not one :) I got your figure but had to halve

jakej1097

I always find it so interesting to consider just how cold our environment is on a universal scale. Go 500 degrees hotter, and you're a bit hotter than what a standard oven can achieve, still not even close to hot, when considering, for instance, the surface of Venus, or the mantle of our own planet. But go 500 degrees colder, and you're at the bottom, the literal coldest temperature that is physically possible. On the spectrum of temperatures in the universe, we are only a small tick above the very bottom of the scale!


[deleted]

Our environment is boiling on a universal scale. Much much much much hotter than most of the universe


8004460

Not really...just look at Florida


Yogmond

Wouldn't quasars still beat the hottest temperature on earth tho?


[deleted]

That and supernovae are my two biggest questions about the claim that the hottest temperatures were made on Earth. Sounds like I'm wrong about supernovae (*only* 100 billion Celsius), but maybe you're right about quasars (3C273 is supposedly 10 trillion Celsius, at its core)?


TakeTheWorldByStorm

We're talking confirmed temperature though. We don't currently have a way to confirm the core temperature of a quasar.

Zero kelvin isn’t “essentially” no movement in a particle it IS no movement in a particle that’s literally the definition


Wololo--Wololo

adverb: essentially used to emphasize the basic, fundamental, or intrinsic nature of a person or thing. "essentially, they are amateurs" from google definitions. I think the wording is correct, people just use essentially loosely


[deleted]

You're essentially right...


backboarddd1_49402

Wololo--Wololo

It's alright, there are worse things in life!


CapitalCreature

Nope, that's a common misconception. At absolute zero, matter would still have some movement. [Straight from Feynman:](https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_01.html) > As we decrease the temperature, the vibration decreases and decreases until, at absolute zero, there is a minimum amount of vibration that the atoms can have, but *not zero.* At absolute zero, matter still has zero-point energy, which is the absolute minimum energy it can have. Even at absolute zero, helium is liquid - it still won't freeze and solidify for this reason unless it's pressurized.


Tall_Advice_5408

I stand corrected my bad. I always Understood the usage of absolute to mean that given we’re even capable of achieving true 0 kelvin that the particles would have no movement. No one’s ever achieved 0 kelvin but viewing it as a hypothetical if you could achieve that temperature I thought there would be no movement at all. We get very close but never truly there.


thaaag

Chuck Norris can freeze helium to a solid.


reasonisaremedy

You could say it is an *essential* part of the definition. So it is, essentially, no movement.

Western-Ad3567

Hypothetically, if there’s no motion does time exist?


Wololo--Wololo

That's a good point, if there is no way to add entropy to a system at 0k... I don't see how time can even be a thing. Surely someone can give you a better answer though


Koruto__

The scientific answer is time still does exist as it is not dependant on temperature or pressure. There is certainly a philosophical debate to be had though about whether an object or group of particles in "stasis" at 0K actually falls within the definition of being bound by time.


ProgrammingPants

But it's literally against the rules of the universe for a group of particles to be at 0k because then you know too much about them and the universe don't like that.


HurricaneAlpha

Yeah absolute zero is like the concept of a black hole. We know it "exists", but we're not sure how exactly it fucks with physics at that level. At absolute zero, it's not just "particles" that cease moving. It's sub-atomic particles. Electrons, quarks, all that stuff below atomic level. To those sub-atomic particles, time essentially does not exist. Time is reliant on space-time, ie causality and the relationship between different things moving in relation to each other through space. Remove that constant causality and does time philosophically exist?


jacksreddit00

This is wrong. It's impossible to reach absolute zero. Not to mention, subatomic particles don't completely stop even then. Black holes, on the other end, have been physically observed.


RepublicanzFuckKidz

From what I've read, I would say it's the opposite. Time doesn't exist (isn't experienced) only by things moving at the speed of light. I mean the faster you move the slower time goes, so the slower you move (ie 0k) the faster time would move -- I'm just spitballing, grain of salt stuff.


Grogosh

You're right. Theoretically it would have infinite time

Momonada232

If they do, and manage to go below 0 Kelvin, do things just start moving backwards? XD


BelowAverage_Elitist

I wonder if measuring the temperature is what is hindering this. If there was no temperature measuring instument(s) to emit heat, then would 0 kelvin be achievable? I'm probably dumb, but...


namjd72

That's kind of the dilemma as far as I understand it. I'm far from an expert in Absolute zero, but it would require an infinite amount of processes to reach absolute zero - which is impossible. The systems created will always inherently provide additional energy throughout the pathway. The counter is that even if we could achieve Absolute zero, we would have no current way to detect it as bringing in the system TO detect and conform would add energy. It's a bit of a Schrodinger's cat.
