  1. Yes it can't be reached, but he said "theoretically"...  the answer is absolute zero, 0 degrees Kelvin which is equal to -273.15 degree celsius.


  2. Absolute zero

  3. Although the above answers are correct they fail to provide information and links to back up there answers

    The Correct term for the lowest tempature is known as Kelvin (Absolute Zero)Kelvin temperature scale

    Kelvin temperature scale, a temperature scale having an absolute zero below which temperatures do not exist. Absolute zero, or 0K, is the temperature at which molecular energy is a minimum, and it corresponds to a temperature of -273.15° on the Celsius temperature scale. The Kelvin degree is the same size as the Celsius degree; hence the two reference temperatures for Celsius, the freezing point of water (0°C), and the boiling point of water (100°C), correspond to 273.15K and 373.15K, respectively. When writing temperatures in the Kelvin scale, it is the convention to omit the degree symbol and merely use the letter K. The temperature scale is named after the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson Kelvin, who proposed it in 1848. Another absolute temperature scale, the Rankine temperature scale, is used by some engineers. See also Fahrenheit temperature scale.

  4. 0 Kelvin... absolute zero

  5. Just slightly above absolute zero.

    Absolute zero cannot be achieved.

  6. It's called absolute zero. 0K/-273C/-460F.
