Linus SHOWS the setup via a YOURUBE.

I thought that was the Clintons' bedroom.

I thought there were places in space that reached absolute zero.

Difficult to measure that, I suspect.

Absolute zero is theoretical insomuch as they’ve never seen true 0K. Places in space get below 1K but only fractionally (e.g. 0.05K).

Absolute zero is the point where matter ceases to “vibrate,” as I understand it. Not sure that’s actually measurable.

My thermometer goes down to -4 Kelvin.

Nah.

Just get your thermometer from, or calibrated by, an AGW-certified con artist.

Then the measured or unmeasured temperature can be whatever you, or they, say it is.

It’s not measurable I didn’t think, from what I understand at absolute zero doesn’t the electrons just collapse in on nucleus?

Adjustments abound in Climate “Science”.

They are much more scientific than that. They come with an adjustable “research bias” knob...otherwise known as the “fudge factor” knob. The Aussies just told their research people to reset the bias to zero.

And my '66 Dodge Dart with a slant six had a speedometer that went up to 120 mph. That doesn't mean it ever gets there.

...

I’m curious as to where that would be since the temperature leftover from the Big Bang is around 3 degrees K.
