Teach me to > use them for more than one year. ;-) You can get one of those little AC testers that you hold up next to a wire. If the wire is energized the tip of it will glow. Plug your Christmas lights into the wall socket and just follow the line tester up the string until it doesn't glow anymore and there is your bad bulb. You can get these testers at most any electrical supply house for about $20. Andy SignatureGun Control works!!! 3 million Holocaust victims can’t be wrong. > Damn.......I have to tonight.

Temperature is a measurement of molecular movement. At absolute zero, nothing is moving. Pressure is a measurement of molecular inertia. Each molecule has an area around it that it wants to keep free, kinda like the birds on a wire, so when you compress them into a flask, such as a SCUBA cylinder, they are all trying to find their space, and the result is inertia produced by movement away from each other. Heat is energy, cold is lack of energy. Vacuum is not a force, it is a lack of force. \ And always remember; two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts does.

I'm going to stick my neck out a bit, but I don't think this is correct. Absolute zero is the temperature at which, if it followed the graph, all molecules in a gas would cease all movement. It presumes, however, that it would still be a gas at that point, which it wouldn't. As I recall, and I'm really getting iffy here, temperatures below absolute zero have been achieved.

Which is exactly what I said. Nothing we can measure or detect is moving. So, in reality, we could define the limits of this to the limit of the human ability. > It presumes, however, that it would still be a gas at that point, which it wouldn't. > As I recall, and I'm really getting iffy here, temperatures below absolute zero have been achieved. Easy. Space. No molecules, no movement, no temperature. In fact, lack of molecular movement (due to no molecules) is a fact.

The molecules may be scattered far and wide, but they're still there. Lee > > Easy. > > Space. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > perfect vacuum. The molecules may be scattered far and wide, but they're > still there. True. There's actually quite a lot of them in interplanetary space. Another interesting tidbit is the concept of temperature at very low pressures. As Scott pointed out, temperature is actually a measure of the average particle energy in a given area. Although there aren't many particles in space, those that are there tend be very energetic and tend to keep that energy because there isn't much for them to bump into. Although the concept of "temperature" becomes somewhat distorted in the upper atmosphere, the "temperature" of the plasma in the ionosphere is on the order of 1000 degrees C. Here's an interesting page that shows the pressure and temperature of the upper atmoshpere: http://www.linmpi.mpg.de/english/forschung1/ (nasa.gov also has some good references, but I couldn't quickly find any that easily showed what I was trying to say) Alan > > Temperature is a measurement of molecular movement. > > At absolute zero, nothing is moving.

Apparently, the movement doesn't stop, but they're as slow as they possibly can be. http://www.pa.msu.edu/~sciencet/ask_st/012992.html I think the gas would have passed through to liquid (and solid)? states before reaching absolute zero. This describes negative temperature on the kelvin scale http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear/neg_temperature.html Dennis > Lee > > Temperature is a measurement of molecular movement. > > At absolute zero, nothing is moving.

I did a bit of a search after I posted that suggests that there has not been a recorded temperature even at, let alone below absolute zero. Temperatures on Pluto, which I thought were a sure thing, weren't that cold. Lee > > Temperature is a measurement of molecular movement. > > At absolute zero, nothing is moving.
