The Absolute

By Blake Dawson

So you think your cold? You may feel cold on the outside, but your core temperature is still 98.6 degrees Farenheit. Unless of course you are suffering from hypothermia.

When objects are hot, such as a frying pan on a burner, the molecules inside are moving very rapidly. On the other hand, in cold objects, such as ice, the molecules inside tend to move more slowly.

At Absolute Zero, (0 degrees on the Kelvin scale, -273 degrees on Celsius and -459 degrees on Farenheit) the molecules in an object are at an almost complete stop.

So next time before you say, "I'm freezing!" just think about the Absolute.
