I found something that amuses me. maybe I just don't know enough about it.... so if you do, explain to me how this is possible.....

so, the way I read this.... 0 Kelvin is the lowest possible temp. period.
but somehow these scientists have found a way to not only operate at or below -2Kelvin..... but also a way to measure it and claim operating at such temps.
am I missing something? :iono:
Definition of Kelvin -
Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no thermal energy remains in a substance—is, by definition, exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C.
From a CNN.com article about the Holden collinder breaking down -
When the transformer malfunctioned, operating temperatures rose from below 2 Kelvin to 4.5 Kelvin -- extraordinarily cold by most standards, but warmer than the normal operating temperature.
