Bill S sometimes you make my day with you logic ... and since you have sorted thru the garbage I will get you to think futher.

The reason laser cooling can cool lower to absolute zero than conventional cooling is because in effect it can cool out the quantum noise because it is a photonic effect.

So can you actually achieve near absolute zero on both a QM and physical vibration now there is an obvious QM question isn't there.

The curious things that happen at low temperatures keep on throwing up surprises. Last week, scientists reported that molecules in an ultra-cold gas can chemically react at distances up to 100 times greater than they can at room temperature.

In experiments closer to room temperature, chemical reactions tend to slow down as the temperature decreases. But scientists found that molecules at frigid temperatures just a few hundred billionths of a degree above absolute zero (−273.15°C or 0 kelvin) can still exchange atoms, forging new chemical bonds in the process, thanks to weird quantum effects that extend their reach at low temperatures.


Now things start to get interesting if you use a bit of logic.

Think about it a bit more Bill S you have a good logic and a keen sense of science even though you insist you don't have the maths and science background.

Hint the answer also sort of solves Socratus problem of why the universe is very close to flat.

This may help piece it together: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=bose-einstein-condensate

cheat if you get stuck ... try doing it without using it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veU6hK3jMH4) :-)

The sucky bit with the scientific answer is I may never get to be a god ... sigh

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
