What will happen if you freeze something to -1000 degrees?

Question

that is, If it is possible to freeze something to -1000 degrees :P

Answer 1

It is not possible go below absolute zero that is around -273.16 degree C

Answer 2

This is as far as I know not possible! The absolut negative temperature you can get is ~273,16°C (also 0 Kelvin). A that point nothing is moving anymore. This point was never reached by anybody. Scientists tried but they failed (there was just a little bit left to get to the absolut zero point). Of course it depends what do you want to freeze. A flower for example: You can smash it an it will break in peaces like a glass.

Answer 3

first of all you can't freeze anything below -273.16 C or 0K. Because at this temperature the molecules of any form of matter stop moving and their energy becomes zero. Though this temperature has yet not been achieved accurately, still using liquid helium the temperature has been dropped quite close to 0K. Different materials behave differently:
1) Gases contract so much that their volume becomes zero.
2) Due to lack of movement of particles, solids become extremely brittle. For ex., if u drop a rubber ball at temperature 0K, it won't bounce back. Instead, it would break into small pieces like shattered pieces of galss.
3) Liquids ,as you might have guessed, freeze and become solids.

Answer 4

I think it is a hypothetical question and the answer is that nothing will exist at that temperature, rather well before - 1000 degree C or K or F.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

Absolute zero is the point on the thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale where the heat energy is at a minimum, that is, no more heat can be removed from the system. According to classical physics this temperature would correspond to zero kinetic energy of the particles of the system, in the reference frame of the system's center of mass; this, however, is now known to be false—quantum mechanics explains why the energy of a system can never drop below its zero-point energy.

By international agreement, the Celsius temperature scale starts at absolute zero with the value of exactly -273.15 °C (which approximately agrees with the original definition of the Celsius scale that was based on freezing and boiling point of water). It is approximately -459.67 °F on the Fahrenheit scale. In sciences, where SI units are in use, thermodynamic temperature is measured in kelvins where absolute zero is 0 K. Many engineering fields in the U.S. measure thermodynamic temperature using the Fahrenheit-based Rankine scale where absolute zero is 0 °R.

Scientists have made great advancements in achieving temperatures ever closer to absolute zero (where matter exhibits odd quantum effects). In 1994 the NIST achieved a record cold temperature of 700 nK (billionths of a kelvin). In 2003, researchers at MIT eclipsed this with a new record of 450 pK (0.45 nK).

And on it goes..........................................

Answer 6

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic enrgy of the particles. At 0 K or -273 ºC or -459 ºF if it were possible to reach this temperature everything stops moving.

This means you cannot get any colder!

Answer 7

First of all, it is simpy impossible to freeze an object to less than 0 K, since 0 K (-272.16°C [exact, since this is a definition, not measurement, and this results in water's melting temperature slightly above 0°C]) means the inexistence of any energy in form of heat.

Answer 8

Yeah sorry buddy, absolute zero is the coldest you can get, even in the middle of space thats the coldest it is. The reason for this is because at that temperature (i dont know it exactly but somone mentioned it b4 me) the atoms dont have any energy at all, there is no vibrating around like normal.

Answer 9

1) that temperature is not a physical one (if you mean celsius degrees)! Absolute 0 is about -300 celsius.
2) At absolute zero the sistem is quenched to its ground state.

Answer 10

Nothing would happen...as long as you passed the freezing temperature even if you decrease the temperature to -10000000 it will remain freezed.
