Physics questions

RE: Physics questions
Quote:3. Absolute zero refers to energy in the molecular motion.  At absolute zero fundamental particles like electrons still retains quantum zero point energy and their resultant motion.

Yup, this is the tricky bit.  Newtonian physics doesn't apply at the quantum level.  Counterintuitive, but that physics for you.  Smile
