Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Why You Can’t Reach Absolute Zero

- Cool things happen at low temperatures. In this StarTalk explainer, we’re cooling things down - way down. But how cold can we actually get? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the limits of temperature and a lot more.
You’ll learn why there’s really no limit of how hot you can make something. On the flip side, we dive into why making things colder is a different story. How do you create a place where there is no heat? You’ll find out more about the Kelvin scale or absolute temperature scale.
Neil takes us through the process of cooling things down. Discover the differences between temperature and heat energy. We explore the vibration of particles and dip our toes into Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Then, Neil tells us why we can never philosophically or theoretically reach absolute zero.
To wrap things up, we investigate what happens when quantum physics take over. Discover more about superfluidity. All that, plus, you’ll hear about the Bose-Einstein condensate and how we can “shape-shift” matter.

When Lord Kelvin decided to use the same intervals as the Celsius scale he became an instant friend to all physics students ever to exist
@Martin willemse yes it is possible. The act of measuring the quantum world turn from energy to physical happens faster than the speed of light.
@Martin willemse its basically happening beyond time . Its happening at 0 or infinite.
True
Kelvin is truly our Lord and Savior
And chemistry students
Give a definition of absolute zero

I suppose the three of us share a common intrinsic angular momentum
Yeah for corn computers to work we got to put them in the f****** refrigerator
That's right Google I said quantum
Particleless refrigerator or rather particleless void
Common intrinsic momentum is the thing
I was on the Jersey shore once in an unusually cold June, and the beaches were empty. But I saw that the parking lots were huge. I started thinking about how all those people in the cities are like molecules in the kinetic theory of gases. Raise the temperature a bit and those people start getting more active and the most energetic of those people start expanding out onto the beaches.
...thus making the beaches hotter.😁 Always fascinated watching how much the temperature rises as i drive only ~10m from the lush suburbs into the concrete-jungle of the city.
I know almost nothing of physics besides what I remember of my high school physics class a decade ago, but Neil has inspired me to learn. I look back and regret not paying attention to things that are so fascinating and literally explain the universe! Neil has inspired me as an adult man to go back, and purely for fun and for a desire for understanding, study physics and science in general; what a great educator
You should also search for Brian Greene on CZcams.
So sad & sorry thinking about my HS classes. So dull and unutterably horrible. The world desperately needs more great science teachers, middle through high.
@@lcflngnthe whole “education” system needs to be focused on learning and not just pumping out grades and factory workers. That’s the issue with them it’s not even the teachers at a fundamental level.
Study harder.

@Martin willemse you cannot go faster than the speed of light because LIGHT CANNOT GO FASTER THAN LIGHT,remember that. Anything that has mass cannot reach the speed of light,and the universe in the future will expand at the speed of light at which point we cannot even see distant galaxies or even stars "but no object is actually moving through the Universe faster than the speed of light. The Universe is expanding, but the expansion doesn't have a speed; it has a speed-per-unit-distance, which is equivalent to a frequency, or an inverse time" nothing can break the universal speed limit.You can warp space,you can quantum tunnel,you can create wormholes BUT YOU CAN'T GO FASTER THAN LIGHT. The galaxy maybe is moving with the expansion but the speed which it goes through space is not lightspeed, maybe lets say 170 mp/s,thats really fast,infact our galaxy is hurdling through space at about 130 mp/s but it doesnt go as fast as the universe is expanding right?
@@ligerfelikscayanga7361 Light moves through space, which is itself expanding.

Well this one is not a joke.
Imagine what's going to happen to all those atom's we keep on burning for fuel for electricity and we have no where to dispose them afterwards they don't care if they are buried,sank etc they will always keep on chucking.
Only if you stop the existence its self.
It is so contagious the excitement of Neil. And Chuck is great at throwing jokes to lighten up the concepts. I love this channel ❤

Chuck got baked and had a whole 20min conversation with him about the lower temperature limit for all matter in the universe.
Fukn mindsplode. 👌🤯👍
Aren't we all?
@@sixstringedthing I'm having this feeling now 😑
I can hypothesize what below zero would be. But first, it's just easier to start with nuclear physics. What is a nuclear bomb? What is an electromagnetic thermonuclear bomb? A regular bomb is a 3d bomb and a nuclear bomb is a 4d bomb that either implodes or explodes the 4th dimension in a nuclear chain reaction. An electromagnetic nuclear bomb decreases the electrical charge of the gravitational field of space through the magnetic field. This pushes the gravitational force of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the gravitational force of the mass of space into the area of the mass of space where electrical charge is decreased without the "cushion" of the gravitational field of energy to slow down the impact with the force of acceleration and all things in motion stay in motion. So now to below zero. When we get the breaking point of where all things in motion are staying in motion because the gravitational field of energy is no longer pushing mass apart we have universal collapse. Take a step back and go to the geometrical shape of space. Space is expressed as parallel circles with infinite curvature forming flat parallel lines in the interior surface, accelerated expansion in the parameter functioning, and the gravitational field of a singularity observed in its gravitational field of Dark Matter and Dark Energy. A circle around a circle until infinity always accelerates and expands. Infinite and zero are non-observable in 3 dimensions and we observe them by measuring them over time to differentiate. Infinite is non-observable over time and zero is. Zero has no beginning and no end. Infinite is both the beginning and end. The beginning of infinite curvature is also the end. So the singularity forms a flat parallel line between each edge of the sphere that forms flat parallel lines. A single instance of infinite temperature at all points of space. But, when there is explosion, the mass, density, and volume of the singularity do not increase. So the universe inside the singularity at the point of universal implosion is negative infinite while the singularity remains infinite. Like a negative and positive charge.
@@jareddiscipio1768 Ok, so to clarify. I typed up what I summarized with absolute zero. It's too long to text. I. The end you get infinitely negative or in the sense of absolute zero, infinitely negative zero.
drive.google.com/file/d/1wnxA-civlDMswVXRAnF7gu3nFHzEgPtL/view?usp=drivesdk
You seem to think I care about how you make a nuclear bomb. I don't. I don't care one bit. And I also don't care how much c4 you have, you're never going to effect the gravitational field. Nuclear bombs merely have the difference of a chain reaction that effects spacetime and not just space.
And you can explode cra* all day, it's never really going to do anything to the universe as a whole because that is how the universe was created. Expansion.
Now..use magnetism and decrease electrical charge and the universe will implode because the gravitational field deflates.

@@woozy7405 your school buddy that was smarter than you?
Chuck and Neil are a perfect match. I hope they stay together for a long long time and keep doing these videos.
I most say Neil makes every lesson fun. Imagine having Neil as a professor 👏👏
Absolute Zero is just the number of times I’ve been laid this year.

So... that would mean you physically have to get laid more than 0 times, because you can not reach 0?

That's funny!
I love this ability Neil has that is taking extremely long and complicated questions and making them simple and understandable for the broad audience. Plus his sense of humor is 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Man this is just the best way to learn. No pressure, engaging, and fun.
This is like a teacher teaching a class clown that actually pays attention.
This literally explained it so freaking accurately 😍
You can be a class clown and pay attention, given that the teacher is chill enough with the humor. But yeah, most of the time, it isn't the case.
@@jeaneljaylamputi2215 Yeah is possible for a teacher to be chill enough with the humor for 17 minutes, but for a whole day, the whole week, the whole semester, while being underpaid and underappreciated by everyone? Impossible, the clown has to put some effort too.
@@ChacaPleto true, the class clown should be a class clown through their humor, but not their grades(if you mean he's failing bad for being too much of a goofball).
Why is this so accurate
"I don't want to be remembered for anything..."
Too late for that Professor. You passed that milestone many, many years ago.
Enjoying every moment of my time with you both guys. I was always into questioning of why and what for, why not, that I am finally getting my curiosity satisfied though partially. Pl kp it up prof Tyson.
But this is how exactly how I teach. There are certain common speeds at which kids and students hear something, grasp it and then internalise it. A good teacher will find that rhythm and will never go too fast or too slow. If you go too slow, your intelligent kids' minds will wander and they will end up missing bits of information or fail to form a cohesive picture. If you go too quickly less intelligent kids will just fall behind because they never have time to process and internalise information.
"So -273 celcius is the absolute zero"
"Absolutely"

@Martin willemse idk what most of this nonsense means, but the parts I did understand were completely wrong. You do not understand how the expansion of the universe works.
@Martin willemse Lol, somebody doesn't know what special relativity is.
He is a great man
@Martin willemse bro bro, let's keep it simple. How are you going from over Galaxy to the next, if the next is traveling away from you at .9 the speed of light while you stop to refuel and have coffee and cookies? You would then have to travel faster than that Galaxy just to reach it wouldn't you? And you plan on doing this with a "simple rocket"? 🤣 I want whatever coffee you had this morning.
Clearly. The Neil. Is a measure of self enlightenment.
And is an arbitrary scale.
Because it is entirely subjective!
Tysons are the unofficial unit to measure the degree of interesting educational physics conversations. It has an absolute zero and no upper limit denoted as a "#Ty".
Now i don't need any more explanation about absolute zero
Thank you sir 🙏
The fact that Chuck actually understands the concepts Neil is throwing at him but throws in jokes as well. Perfect synergy duo.

Woah...I never, in my wildest dreams, have ever thought of someone who could explain entire Bose- Einstein condensate thing in just one line and that to with such clarity. Tyson is a brilliant educator.

I’m a historian and I should probably stay in my lane, but I can’t get enough of learning about the stars. Our ancestors wanted to do it and so do I I’m fascinating on cosmology because of people of the past wanting to learn about the future.
Let's credit Chuck for being the best host there is as he's both entertaining and relevant.
I love hearing Neil talk. He's a very engaging speaker no matter what he talks about.
He could make watching paint dry sound interesting.
In person, I zone out even more, just to sorta “wake up” when the lights come up and he walks off stage. Like a great movie, it’s over in what seems like only a few mins after it started. He pull you in and you don’t blink for 2 hours. It’s so worth the money and travel if needed.
I want to hear him explain how to change a tire or recharge a car battery.

Also, every time Neil calls something "very cool" I giggle.
It reminds me of one of my favorite puns of all time:
"Do you know what's very cool?"
"It's English for really cold."
This entire video is literally about very cool things.
Literally literally, not internet literally.
Language is weird. But also weird is language.
the way that he explains all of this is amazing. i wisheveryome could learn it like this.
I just love his passion through the hand gestures he gave lol...
The hands are moving faster therefore he's creating more heat... 😂
@Martin willemse I don't know if I understand, but you probably mean that galaxies go faster then the speed of light (?) because they are 2,3 billion lightyears further then their light was send to our retinas, but this is actually Dark Energy,
Love it when Chuck gets hit with knowledge so deep he can't even joke about it
He got hit with Cold Temperature knowledge so deep, he said "wow thats cool" and didn't even realize the pun himself.

He is certainly bright...but he brings me no hope for humanity. The ever expanding universe and what is in it makes no difference if we can’t live amongst ourselves as humans on earth.
He is smug and arrogant with that “I’m better than you because I’ve received more education” demeanor, and it shows whenever he speaks to someone without the extensive background in physics as him. An elitist world full of Neil’s is not one I want to live in.

Couldn’t agree more, krisbrixon. Love this show
I wished, Neil deGrasse Tyson would have given Chuck Nices' idea about combining the fridge with an oven a bit more of a thought. Geothermal heat pumps work in a similar way as Chuck suggested it. If you have already some heat, you won't need to add so much energy to reach the desired temperature.

There was such a disconnect between physics in school and this, i find that this makes sense one point to the next where as in school ur just to remember the laws with no vision
As I learned in school, Kelvin (upper case) stands for the man and kelvin (lower case) stands for the units. Same for Newton and newton. And the unit letter itself, K (kelvin) and N (newton), uses the upper case again unlike other units that do not refer to someone's name... such as meter (m) or kilogram (kg). That makes me always wonder why in our motorways the distance is often measured in kelvin * meters (Km) or the supermarkets price the fish in kelvin * grams (Kg)...

Questions.
1. you put hot food in a fridge and the cold air around it extracts the heat. (I would think if it is cold enough in there, the heat would shrivel up too fast so fast it wouldn't get to the back. But moving onto my question)
Absolutely 100% makes logically sense. So what about when you put hot food in open air that is cold. Does the heat disppate naturally? I mean where does it go?
2. "Nothing is ever stationary." Setting aside the rotational speed, orbital speed of the earth in the solar system and the orbital speed in the galaxy as a whole, what about things on earth that are stationary for hours and do not move? Vehicles, houses, couches, tvs, "I could go on forever baby"
How are they not stationary? What about in vehicles themselves that have multiple liquids in motion with the vehicle moving and when the vehicle reaches its destination, the vehicle stops, engine stops, all liquids very slowly come to a stop. Because there is no force to make the liquids jostle around wildly. Eventually the gas settles down, the engine oil settles down, the coolant settles down, the transmission oil settles down. Eventually it becomes motionless.
What about when liquids freeze? Heaven forbid coolant, gas and oil in a vehicle that needs to start. Is there a certain amount "heat" in the frozen liquids if particles at the quantum level are constantly vibrating?
how can you use 'k' (the lowercase version) for temp unit while it represents a physical constant?
As a high school teacher, I explained why measuring angles in degrees was rather arbitrary. Then their task was to come up with their own unit of measurement, tell me how many of that unit would make a circle, and give me a method to convert from degrees into that unit. I used this to then jump into radians. It got their brains thinking in a way so they could more easily accept a different form of measurement for angles.
Heisenberg and Schrodinger get pulled over by a cop. The cop asks them, "Do you know how fast you were going?" to which Heisenberg replied, "No, but I know exactly where I am."
The cop then says, "You were going 85 in a 65." to which Heisenberg throws up his hands and exclaims, "Great! Now we're lost!"
The cop gets suspicious and asks to have the trunk opened, and finds a dead cat. The cop then asks, "Did you know that you have a dead cat in your trunk?" to which Schrodinger shouts, "Well, we do now!"

13:32 " cool things happen at low temp"
I see what you did there.
Neil is up there with Carl for the most well known and loved Astrophysicists in the World. Live Long and Prosper.
Carl who? I just learned of Neil a few days ago.

If you like this kind of video and you don't know Carl Sagan...BOY, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT!
Let's just say that Mr. Tyson, as much as I like what he does and how well he does it, still falls short of scratching that "itch for more" that Mr. Sagan left when he died.
The poetry of Sagan's thoughts, along with his childlike wonderment and love of solving mystery, make me cry cathartic tears of appreciation of the beauty of our universe. Regularly, every few minutes in the middle of something he's narrating, I vicariously feel the emotion behind the words he uses to describe his personal search for truth and the waterworks start for me.
I can see the comparison between him and Neil. It's in the honest expressions of enthusiasm about science and fact-finding that they routinely display, I think.
Neil is a fraud and nowhere near to Dr. Sagan.
@@idc170293 Can you recommend the video you think the most interesting of him?
Thank you, Neil! These are the kinds of videos that make my day.
Unfortunately he explains it in a way which is not entirely correct.
Absolute zero is well defined in quantum mechanics with an example being in complete darkness, the optical system is in a Quantum Ground State and the thermal reservoir of optical photons is zero kelvin.
The more important concept as above is the Quantum Ground State, the lowest energy state of a system. No temperature is defined for a pure quantum ground state because the state is known, and temperature is dependent on the system (in many systems the QGS energy is just above absolute zero).
Surely, the Nice unit would be a unit of temperature, inversely proportional to degrees/kelvins. The more Nice you have, the cooler you are
Back when I learned the first things about Kelvin scale and abdolute zero in school i asked about the possibility of reaching, emulating or finding a place where 0°K were feasible. My teacher and some other children made fun of me because that silly question and I felt ashamed for asking. It feels so nice to see Neil answering a question I had for years, forgotten and buried in my own embarrassment since then. It made me happy.
These are always the highlight of my week.
Particles have translational, rotational and vibrational energy. The vibrational stops at around 600 K. When reaching absolute 0 you will have only translational left if i remember correctly.
Very nice video, and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I will ask, just in case somebody knows:
If at very low temperatures we get a Bose_Einstein_condensat, and they act like one massive wave/particle, would it be possible to superposition two phase shifted Bose-Einstein-condensates to create destructive interference and get the temperature even lower by erasing the amplitudes? In particles, this would probably be the same as colliding them such that they cancel their impulses out. Is that possible? If not, where does it go wrong?
Love Neil and Chuck.
Neil, for being the best continuator of Carl’s legacy in science promotion and education.
Chuck, for being the best version of what we all are when we are curious and are not afraid to ask.
I could have commented this in any StarTalk episode but I did it on this one. Maybe a nice bottle or Malbec helped a lot.
Keep them coming, you guys. I know I’m gonna watch all StarTalk stuff several times and, at least, make my kids aware of its existence.
A googolplex of gratitude!!
I believe this was the perfect episode to leave this comment on because I was certainly thinking the exact same thing.
Malbec is mostly good, just as this episode!
That and Chuck's deduct6ions are sharp even if he doesn't know the terms.
Who is Carl? I'm not familiar with any of this.
Neil is looking more like Einstein with every episode that passes.
😂😂😂

@The Truth of the Matter He's more smart than you could even fathom. I wouldnt be talking if I were you
@The Truth of the Matter Trust me, I'm like a smart person.
No he does'nt look like he's been stiking is fingeur in an electrical soket.
I've missed listening to Dr. N.G.T. I loved 'cosmos'. Glad I found this.
4:48. How did they figure that out?
Also, could one use pressure to cool down matter? Like, for instance, if one were at the bottom of a black hole (because everyone can simply jump into the closest black hole and start taking measurements,) could the compressive forces be so great that it stops a particle from moving completely, therefore technically bringing it to absolute zero? And, now that I think about it, could one cool down matter by traveling very close to light speed?
I felt Chuck when he yelled out "you can't know anything about anything in quantum physics!!'
Heisenberg totally agrees.
How funny sonething is shall be remembered in Nice:
1. A half smirk shall be notated in 0.5Nice.
2. One cracked smile from cheek to cheek shall be notated in 1Nice.
3. One full smile for one minute shall be notated in 2Nice.
4. One complete chuckle shall be notated in 4Nice.
5. Hearty laughter shall be notated in 10Nice.
6. Laughter that results in a red face, or teardrops, or the inability to breath, or a sore abdomen followed by tingles, shall be notated in 20Nice. The duration of such laughter for more than five minutes will add on to the Nice scale by a factor of 2, making it unlikely, though mathematically possible, for the Nice scale to exceed 100Nice.
what about 69Nice?
do specific gravity Niel, you are a great communicator, love to you
I love you two! Your shows are always very informative, easy to follow, fun, and funny! Thank you for empowering all of us with wisdom! 😎
I will be spoon feeding my children every episode of this I can find. I love that they can receive such elevated knowledge and motivation from men who look like me. Thanks for everything...
You're beautiful too? Noice
You look like Neil tyson?
They don't look the same 🤷♂️
Lol, tyson looks like an average individual is what's up, but he does great things with that approachable appearance and so the look is redefined by his personality/persona.
So yes, they look alike
