  1. 10 times as colder than -1000 degrees!


  2. Instadeath!

    Cold!

    Ahhh!

  3. Ok, you don't mention what scale you're talking about, but on Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin this temperature is below absolute zero.  At absolute zero almost all molecular motion would cease--however the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle ensures that it won't cease completely.  In ordinary situations it is not possible to get colder than that.  However, there are situations that can actually be fairly easily constructed in a laboratory where the temperature is below absolute zero, but they do so in a funny way--they essentially become "hotter than infinity" and then start approaching absolute zero from the negative side.  As they do they could approach your -1000 degrees. So, in that sense, they extremely hot instead of extremely cold.  Anyway, you wouldn't get them by cooling down a system, so you probably wouldn't find them in the far reaches of space, they need to be prepared in a fairly special way.  If you Google "negative absolute temperatures" you'll find lots more information on them.

  4. Well, you "bottom out" at Absolute Zero (−459.67 F).

  5. hot

  6. I really hate to be technical because i'm not that type of person, but the coldest place in the solar system that astronomers have studied, is Triton( one of Neptunes moons) with an average low of 800 degrees below zero.  The whole planet is frozen solid. I really can't imagine how -1000 degrees would feel.  It is definetely not liveable conditions so nobody would ever feel it lol.  Have you ever seen the movie "The Day after Tomorrow?"  That movie really shows what cold is. I know it is not -1000 degrees but you will get the idea on what can happen in that kind of cold

  7. I suppose that's not possible.U can't go below 0 Kelvin..can u?

  8. Uh ha ha, INHOSPITABLE!!!  Even in the Antarctic and Arctic, where is can get to -115, you can live there with proper equipment, housing, and clothing!  (I.e. there's an Army Base in Antarctica).  But -1000?  Nooooooo waaaaayyy!

  9. What scale are you using?  Absolute zero is -272 degrees Celsius.  At that temperature everything stops moving.  Molecules and atoms stop vibrating.  Essentially you can't get that cold.  Ever!  To get to that temperature the universe would come to a stop, time would stop, space would stop.

    If you want to know what cold feels like, go outside in Northern Canada during a -50 degree day when the wind is howling.  Just don't stay out for more than 10 seconds unless you have the right gear.  Or here comes Jack Frostbite.

  10. It's impossible for it to be -1000 degrees because absolute zero is -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

  11. i think it would look something like the movie iceage but without the comedy =D

  12. Absolute zero is −273.150 °C so it cant get that cold

  13. i dont think you can get down that far

    it stops at absolute 0 and i think thats like -450 or somthin

    so -1ooo would feel the same as -45o

  14. Well if it was -1000 degrees, i'm doubting anyone would be alive.

  15. Even Colder

  16. There is no such thing as -1000 degrees.  What we call cold is actually just a lowered state of heat energy.  You can think of cold being an absence of heat, as dark is the absence of light.  Beyond a certain point where there is absolutely no light, things cannot get any darker.The absolute absence of heat energy is about -273 Celsius, or 0 Kelvin.  In the farthest reaches of the universe it is not possible to get below absolute 0, or the complete absence of heat energy.

  17. Absolute zero (or zero degrees on the Kelvin scale) is somewhere around -375 degrees.

    That is when all molecules are completely motionless.

    A complete lack of any heat whatsoever.

    So -1000 degrees would be like.....completely impossible because that would require about -625 degrees worth of negative molecular movement.

    There's no such thing as negative movement....so good luck with that one.
