What will be the effects of absolute zero temperature on human body? please remember that i am talking about human body and not human beings who are alive.

be very brittle, but if nothing made contact would be perfectly preserved except cell damage during freezing.

Absolute zero is only a concept. If it were some how possible not only would you DIE... but you'd look pretty damn "cool" in the process... -Rimshot-

If you were already dead and you somehow achieved absolute zero your body would crystallize... possibly becoming ice... um... of different colors...

Think about this: When you put a slab of frozen meat on the counter, the counter becomes cold, right? Well if you got a body to achieve absolute zero, an extremely cold temp, then the table would also freeze, as well as the room, and pretty much everything around it. I couldn't imagine what the limit to this freezing radius would be.

It depends on how fast you dropped your temperature...

If you do it slowly enough, the ice crystals that form would shatter the cells--you'd turn into mush when you were thawed.

If it's fast enough--and you wouldn't have to go to absolute zero to get to this point--it would slow (at the unobtainable absolute zero, it would stop) the chemistry underlying the bodily processes. Now, I realize that you're talking about the dead, here--but realize that there are lytic enzymes that can degrade tissues and can be released when the tissues are dead. If you froze the body fast enough, their action would be halted, too. The ultimate result (assuming that the body was kept at absolute zero, plus a tiny fraction) would be essentially permanent preservation until the thaw happened. If the freeze was fast enough, the thawed body would be in very nearly the same state it was at the point of freezing.

As with any extreme cold situation, such as immersion of tissue in liquid nitrogen, exposing the human body to an absolute zero environment would cause massive cellular disruption due to fluid crystallization.

All tissue would become brittle and lose all elasticity.

Well, first of all, everything at absolute zero is solid. Becuase water is less dense as a solid then liquid, and the human body is mostly composed of water, a body would expode.

Completely stops all molecular movement. Cells are shredded by crystals. Body as stiff as titanium. All in all, a human freeze pop. Why?

I think the answer your looking for is called the BOSE EINSTEIN CONDENSATE

All the atoms would stop moving, they would form into a cloud and a new state of matter. Presumably the body would be destroyed because it would be turned into a cloud. This present state is achievable on small samples using laser cooling and electromagnetic confinement.

The atoms would stop moving and the electrons would faze out and the body wouldn't be able to sustain it's structure any more so it colaspes into a whole bunch of atoms everywhere.

matter cannot exist at absolute zero temperature because the contarction is so much that nothing can exist!

hi friend,
first of all i must tell u that absolute zero can be approached but it is not acheiveable,rightand if we suppose so then ya each cell of our body will be in form of crystal
