The coldest place in the Universe is ....

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

The coldest place in the Universe is ....

ISS

  • Jan. 30, 2014: Everyone knows that space is cold. In the vast gulf between stars and galaxies, the temperature of gaseous matter routinely drops to 3 degrees K, or 454 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

    It’s about to get even colder.

    NASA researchers are planning to create the coldest spot in the known universe inside the International Space Station (ISS).

    “We’re going to study matter at temperatures far colder than are found naturally,” says Rob Thompson of JPL. He’s the Project Scientist for NASA’s Cold Atom Lab, an atomic ‘refrigerator’ slated for launch to the ISS in 2016. "We aim to push effective temperatures down to 100 pico-Kelvin."

On second thought, perhaps the coldest place in the Universe will be Hell with its lack of love.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
