Not quite. 0°K = -273.15°C. 0°K is the theoretical point where atoms of all elements will stop vibrating.

Really? I think you might be right
The book I was reading says -213.16 C in the scientific Notation and Measurements Appendix
it could be a typo; 1 and 7 would be really easy to slip in printing

Would the real Absolute Zero please stand up?

thanks Dagaz...
that is indeed a Quirky science fact

Baluchitherium is the largest land mammal ever known!

It lived in Mongolia 20 million years ago, and stood 6 metres at the shoulder, and measured 9 metres from head to tail!

It was a giant hornless rhinoceros, and supposedly browsed on tall trees!

That's like twice the height of an African Elephant's shoulder!!!

Natural gas does not have any odor. In order to detect a gas leak, some gas companies add a chemical that smells similar like rotten eggs!

I knew it! Artificial farts!

Baluchithernium would have made for one helluva' Bar-B-Q!

Blood letting used to be a common medical practice.

Greek and Roman medicine was passed along in the Western world due largely to Islamic scholarship and a few libraries left intact within conquered Islamic territory
