The coldest known place in the Universe is in earth.
Surely it’s the lab in Sweden which got to a within a one- billionth of absolute zero?
Even the 2.7 K background glow from the Big Bang is warmer than the nebula. It is the only naturally occurring object found so far that has a temperature lower than the background radiation.
The coldest known place in the universe, is my wife’s feet as she gets into bed.
Could it be something akin to adiabatic cooling due to expansion?
Fascinating, universe beating its own CMBR temperature.
How can it be colder than the cosmic background temperature? That seems to violate physics.
So if the *average* is 1 K, what’s the standard deviation? Like .00001 K???
My goodness that’s cold as hell what the fuck
We’re almost like 1/4 of the way there in Montana right now
So how do we see it then? Is it reflecting light from elsewhere?
