"Bloss, I always thought Absolute Zero was theoretical. Like, impossible to attain because molecules are always in contact with one another, and therefore always attaining heat from some where. I think the only way to get absolute zero was to create a perfect vacuum, which again only exists in theory.."
The coldest man made temperature was 4 kelvin, or -269 degrees Celsius (or Centigrade).
Absolute zero is impossible to attain. There must be some speed to keep the stability of the atoms. Since KE is proportional to temperature in Kelvin, no kelvin means no KE, and no KE means that the electrons as well as the nucleus just stop dead. That would cause an inbalance in charges that would not automatically rectify itself as normal, causing the atoms to split as if it was radioactive. If any hero attained absolute zero, he or she would disintegrate immediately.
Wait... I took a lot at this... the coldest temperature ever MEASURED however was 450 pK, ie... –273.14999999955 °C kelvin, which I assume was recorded by the Voyager in deep space.
And although I have been taught KE and K is directly proportional, which is wrong, KE is a slight bit higher than the line if they were proportional. I did not realise that the exact definition of absolute zero was the lowest temperature with WHICH the atoms would still remain stable:
At absolute zero, there is still motional, but is the minimal with which the stability of the atom is conserved.
Going BELOW absolute zero would technically be possibly attainable, but the atoms would then disintegrate.
I need to tell my physics teacher she taught us absolute zero wrong.
Maybe, Blossom could attain absolute zero, but there's some other stuff you need to consider:
At that temperature, according to Wien's displacement law black body radiation attains a wavelength of infinity, which I doubt is possible. And that will mean that ALL waves in that range 9ie, everywhere in the universe) are absorbed, so all the light, cosmic rays, radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, x rays would be absorbed by Blossom. These absorbed rays would turn into heat, balancing away the absolute zero, it is also the reason absolute zero is impossible, because the heat would be more and more difficult to balance.
If she did reach absolute zero she'd instantly technically create an effect like the big bang at her location. She'd probably vaporize everything, and the whole cycle of the universe would restart. If the cycle is constant, she'd lock everything into a time loop, since energy cannot be created or destroyed, and that means... I just might have a scientific theory.
Of course, I might have got my science wrong, as most of this is really high level stuff you'd have to go to university to fully understand, that's my understanding of the various sources I've been to. Wikipedia seemed to have a lot on the matter actually, I'd suggest you check it.
So, you can go with secondary school theory, or university theory, but absolute zero is NOT possible.
Go with somewhere like 4K.

I forgot to mention that even if the heat from black body radiation did not build up, we'd eventually die from freezing, because there'd be no heat reaching us from the sun, as all waves would have been absorbed.

Oh, and that won't help a sonic scream... I talked about this with Leyla and:
Tomaszavenger (11:37:04 PM): Sonic scream Tomaszavenger (11:37:08 PM): That's just a wave... Tomaszavenger (11:37:19 PM): A large longtitudunal wave Tomaszavenger (11:37:27 PM): It's not a transverse wave Tomaszavenger (11:37:47 PM): It would affect every atom equal regardless of temperature wouldn't it? Tomaszavenger (11:38:02 PM): Sonic attacks cause vibration Tomaszavenger (11:38:15 PM): Lowering temperature won't stop vibration, only resisting the force will.
Basically, you're pretty screwed unless you can somehow make an equal and opposite reaction to the scream, ie... screaming in the same way but at the cosine (I think) frequency of the scream and with the precise wavelength and amplitude. Either that, or a powerful overpowering force acting oppositely. It'd need to be one heck of a blast though.

like I said.. must we stick to the Advanced Physics of the whole process?.. I mean really.. how many movies, cartoons or comics actually stick to Physics?
I'm not a nazi!... I'm a hamster with food in my cheeks!

In the episode "Nuthin' Special", Buttercup tries to figure out what her special ability is. As it turns out, her special ability is rolling her tongue, as none of the citizens of Townsville can do it, including her sisters.
