Does time flow at absolute zero?

I hope you dont ever plan on becoming a scientist.

>> No.4551365

um why is this not a legit question? There's no entropy at absolute zero so you wouldn't be able to tell the direction of time flow at least.

>> No.4551375

No, OP. Logically, time will not flow at 0 Kelvin. Not in the local frame of reference at least.

>> No.4551377

>>4551365

That is an anthropocentric interpretation.

Without change the silly notion of time becomes meaningless. Indeed if you make a system that is completly static in all aspects, there is no time.

Wouldn't there be random fluctuations due to uncertainty? Therefore, change, therefore, time?

I really do not fucking know and I trust anyone who tells me no, I'm just throwing it out there.

>> No.4552980

>>4551408
I think abdolute zero might remove the uncertainty (let's be clear: It's not possible), but some quantum physicist may know better.

>> No.4552994

Does reaching zero kelvin increase the mass of the object towards a singularity? No? Then time is still moving at the same rate as before.

absolute zero of what?

Nothing removes the uncertainty... not even nothing.

I know it's strange. But it's true.

Here is another possibly stupid question: is light affected by time dilation?

>> No.4553037

>>4553031
No. Special relativity. Time, to things that are stuck as "observers" within space-time, appears to be relative to the speed of light.

>> No.4553054

>>4553037
Maybe, to better explain this... let's imagine you are a photon. So you're moving at the speed of light to observers that are moving slower.

Now... how do you perceive things? As a photon your entire "life" from emission (birth) to absorption (let's say that's how you die) would all occur in the exact same "moment" of time. Meaning everything would "seem" instantaneous.

Special relativity fucks with the mind sometimes.

Curious bump

>> No.4554018

Even at absolute zero; can one really truly describe a system as static?
Due to uncertainty the system will (probably) not be in the same state if meassured twice. We are simply likely too observe that objects inside the system has momentum and therfore moves.
Is it even possible for a system to actually be at absolute zero, even in theory? (taking into account quantum mechanics)

>> No.4554025

how does vacuum behave at absolute 0 ?

>> No.4554023

Serious question, not trolling or anything, but what's the point in speculating about impossible situations?
