Do you think that if you...

...froze water so far that you found another state? Like, something past solid. We had an argument about this in science yesterday but no conclusion occured. :|

I don't see how. It would just remain a solid as long as it stays cold enough.

Little rusty on my physics/chemistry, but aren't phases dictated by the speed of the particles in the object? How do you slow down something once it's not moving (at absolute zero, assuming we could reach it)?

not sure..

Haha, but what if you froze them past absolute zero and the particles started going backwards? Answer that one. :lol:

That's not possible because once you hit 0Kelvin you can't go any lower. It stays at zero

Your best chance to find a new "state of matter" would be to heat something to death, not freeze something to death.. But even then, I doubt it.

No but you can get things to be solid that wouldnt normally be solid or you wouldnt normally thing of being solid. Like solid methane or solid argon.

isn't that Bose Einstein state?DyThanatos

Freeze something to 0 Kelvin, then have a woman give it hard icy stares and the cold shoulder ... only way to get it colder.

[QUOTE="cowplayinghalo"][QUOTE="DyThanatos"] is it even possible?DyThanatos

If you do manage to get a temperature lower than 0K, then it is equivalent to dividing by 0 (zero). The universe would implode, then explode, and then implode again. Only God knows what events will occur after that point, but it is known that all time will cease to exist indefinitely.cpo335
