Freezing temperatures across the country have many of us saying, “This is as cold as it gets.” Physics disagrees. In 1848, Lord Kelvin calculated the coldest possible temperature – known as absolute zero. Today, the metric unit for temperature is named the kelvin. Chill out with this Taking Measure blog post to learn more about Lord Kelvin and his work: https://lnkd.in/ez6fJnHV
Absolute zero isn’t where energy vanishes. It’s where waste does. After that point, the limit isn’t thermodynamic — it’s architectural.
He also extrapolated temperatures found in the Sun of his day backwards to conclude that it couldn't possibly be more than 80 Million years old... This messed up the debate over Darwinism because how could Lord Kelvin ever be so far wrong? Darwinians could not see their theory fully playing out into only 80 Million years...
