      From what I know, you can only have negative temperature in a system that has a maximum energy limit. If there's a maximum energy, then that max energy state will have low entropy (since there's only one way to have that max energy), and due to how temperature and entropy are related, the math works out that some states have negative temperature.

      So basically negative (Kelvin) temperatures have to do with the probability distribution of the particles in the substance. Ordinary matter will have the distribution wherein particles are far more likely to be in the lower energy states than higher ones, so the majority of particles are low energy with a minority at high energy. Negative temperature happens when this distribution is reversed, so now particles being in high energy states in more likely and so the majority of them are high energy. Since the flow of energy is from high energy states to lower energy states (thus why hot stuff cools), the flow is from negative temp stuff to positive temp stuff.

    I'd like to strike a blow for water, and thus for the Celsius temperature scale. As a Scandinavian (like Celsius) I learned early that water is at its densest at 4 degrees Celsius thus preventing our lakes and ponds from freezing bottom up during the winter. Later in life I learned that, for its transition from liquid to gaseous state, water requires a lot more energy than it needs for its temperature simply to increase by one degree, thus making it possible to use water to put out fires. I also learned that water is vital for all known forms of life. This may all be considered somewhat mundane, but I would guess that water also has a special place in the grander scheme of things.

      Yeah he kind of swept that under the rug. Water is definitely the single most important liquid to life on the planet. Basing a temperature scale off it is very useful. I mean I don't think there is anything wrong with Fahrenheit and it has some nice properties as well. But at best that makes the comparison a trade off and not simply arbitrary.

    Fahrenheit is actually based on the freezing and boiling points of brine, a particular ratio of a mixture of salt and water, because brine's freezing and boiling points are much more stable and consistent then that of water, who's freezing and boiling points can vary quite a bit depending on atmospheric pressure, which varies with altitude and can even vary in a single place (barometric pressure)

    • @ericvilas
      @ericvilas 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it's actually just based on the freezing point of brine (Fahrenheit never considered the boiling point), as well as the freezing point of water being 32° = 2^5 so he could measure out a degree by dividing the difference between the freezing point of water and the freezing point of brine in half 5 times. Also, the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 180° because base 60 (thank you, Rømer scale).
      (technically brine was actually not the original definition: it was just a precise way to achieve the temperature he originally wanted to approach which was simply the coldest temperature ever recorded in his home city of Gdansk, which he used as an estimate for the coldest temperature bearable for a person)

      @@ericvilasScott may have just given a more precise version of what I was told. If you dissolve something into water, its freezing point goes down. 0 Fahrenheit was supposed to be the lowest that you could force that point. IOW, at a temperature above 0, water MIGHT not freeze depending on how much other stuff has been dissolved into it, but at 0, it WILL freeze.

      I can't go into the specifics (cause I dont know the exact specifics) but they trap atoms in laser beams and the laser beams cool the atom down. From what I know, the photons get absorbed and re-emitted from the trapped atom, taking excess kinetic energy from the atom too. This causes the atom to cool down.

    • @Tomas.Malina
      @Tomas.Malina 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While your thinking is based on a correct assumption, boiling water at 0°F is not possible no matter the pressure. Liquid water cannot exist at temperatures significantly below 32°F (it actually does at very high pressures, not low, because of one of the anomalies of water - the density of ice is lower than the density of water). Even in complete vacuum, you'd only get sublimating ice at 0°F. You might want to look up the phase diagram and the triple point of water.

    Hello Dr Don! It would be magnificent if you make an splendid video on negative Kelvin
    Thank you very much.

    I think the easiest way to demonstrate what negative Kelvin means is following:
    Something with positive Kelvin means it is moving.
    Zero Kelvin means it does not move.
    Negative Kelvin means it is moving backwards. But most importantly it is moving.

    I was disappointed to not hear about negative temperature - but even more disappointed that I didn't get to hear Don singing "Into the Unknown".

    A little remedial for Fermilab but an excellent opportunity to show that even with simplistic information one can infer profound implications.
    The Planck temperature is posited as 1.416784(16)×1032 K & our average body temperature is 310.2 K
    (waaay closer to absolute zero); such implies astronomical amounts of time necessary for the aforementioned heat to dissipate.. without which conditions wouldn't be suitable for our existence.

    You get extra points for showing and comparing the different temperature scale systems early on.

    All national labs should do something similar to Dr Lincoln/Fermilab videos on their TH-cam channels as well, of course on different subjects and fields.

    There is also an absolute zero temperature scale using Fahrenheit degrees, called the Rankine scale

    I am now absolutely curious to understand what happens at negative Kelvin temperatures. Great video. Thawing. Thanks.

      Normal matter maximizes entropy by absorbing energy from something else. A negative object is one that increases entropy by giving up energy. Touching a negative temperature object wouldn't freeze you, it would burn.

    Thank you Don.
    What we mean by molecules/particles vibrating is that bonding is not in perfect frequency synchronicity. That is, the pairing electrons that create a bond do not always couple and fly off as heat and the result of this is that particles momentarily move away from each other and return when bonding resumes. This is a random process dependent upon internal arrangements and external environment. When particles match perfectly in terms of quantity (mass) and kind (bonding angles) the frequency mismatch is minimised, however external environment will still have an affect. To shield from external environment one has to implement the Schwarzschild solution via magnetic field and voila! The coldest place in the Universe. Wait a minute, isn't that a black hole?

    Totally want to see the video on negative temperature and see how you'd teach the concept of population inversion. :) Also, make a separate version with the singing. We all wanna hear that!

    @Fermilab I'm quite positive that most Americans use the metric system. Only the Americans in the United States do not. And all the rest of the American Hemisphere with the 3 American Continents all use the metric system.
