As Temperatures Approach Absolute Zero, Expect Delays Due to Sluggish Electrons |
|
|
Posted by heypaul on Sun Feb 14 07:29:17 2016 As temperatures approach Absolute Zero on the Kelvinator scale, the average kinetic energy of electrons will approach zero, resulting in less current going to the motors of subway trains, thus causing trains to move at a crawl. Therefore allow 3 or 4 extra hours to your regular commute. |

Average global temps on Pluto are still 44 K, so I'd say too much energy will get here from the Sung to worry about that. |

Gee, no one threw anything out about superconduction at near absolute zero temps as opposed to cessation of molecular motion at absolute zero. I'm going back to my electric blanket. |

For your amusement, we got down to minus 22 last night up here. The street lights down Route 20 gave up the ghost at minus 11. There's something to be said for those old heat balls of the years of yore. :) |
