[QUOTE=ArcNova;17361916]Yes. this isn't about your guys' argument about the coldest place in the universe[/QUOTE] I said a statement was incorrect, and proved it. That is all.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;17361935]I said a statement was incorrect, and proved it. That is all.[/QUOTE] No, you didn't. That is all.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;17361665]Where there is no matter there can not be temperature. So really the temperature depends on the amount of matter and it's heat capacity. So really it's a variable. [editline]08:53PM[/editline] [B]"Until we find something colder, it's the coldest." That's like saying if someone puts a cat in a box and I don't know about it, the cat isn't there until I open the box and find it.[/B][/QUOTE] No, that's quantum physics :v:
yech, talk of the super-massive like this frightens me at how insignificantly small we are.
[QUOTE=CanibalMonke;17361953]No, you didn't. That is all.[/QUOTE] Yes I did. You said the moon is the coldest because we know of nothing colder. I said it's an unknown. Quit trying to back yourself up because I corrected you.
SHUT UP tilde
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;17361917][B]Because if you look at our species, we've made quite a significant mark on the planet. And a MORE intelligent species would have made an even bigger mark.[/B][/QUOTE] Didn't you watch that thing on discovery where basically after 50,000 years (really fast compared to the earths life time) everything we built would be totally gone?
[QUOTE=Kybalt;17361976]No, that's quantum physics :v:[/QUOTE] I know :D

[QUOTE=Kybalt;17361998]Didn't you watch that thing on discovery where basically after 50,000 years (really fast compared to the earths life time) everything we built would be totally gone?[/QUOTE] I didn't see it, but heard quite a bit about it. A lot of our stainless steel and other things would still be left over, and we would still have left a mark, though.
The title is inaccurate. It is only the coldest [I]natural[/I] spot in our solar system. Scientists have gotten it much colder with lasers and shit. (I say much colder because it was about a million times closer to absolute zero. There is no real measure of 'coldness')
It would probably all get buried. [editline]09:21PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Cathbadh;17362049]The title is inaccurate. It is only the coldest [I]natural[/I] spot in our solar system.

[B]A lot of our stainless steel and other things would still be left over,[/B] and we would still have left a mark, though.[/QUOTE] Not really. I'm quite sure it would degrade after 50,000 years, anyway, it's still only 50,000 years. Not even close to how long it would take for another intelligent species to come replace us on earth.

(I say much colder because it was about a million times closer to absolute zero. There is no real measure of 'coldness')[/QUOTE] Well, you are correct that it is the coldest natural place. But in this sense, it relates to the major objects in our Solar System. (I.E. Planets, comets, asteroids, etc.)
Ban the OP Gas this thread

Not even close to how long it would take for another intelligent species to come replace us on earth.[/QUOTE] Like I said, probably buried and so crushed to an indecipherable state. Also stop calling it the coldest it's an unknown oh god the technicality o fuk o fuk were going 2 b poor.
[QUOTE=aznz888;17361901]there COULD feasibly some portion of Pluto that has the same situation as this crater, but as far as we know, there isn't. so quit arguing.[/QUOTE] Nope, unless Pluto has some really fuckin' steep and deep canyons or something, which isn't that likely. Pluto spins on a tilted axis similar to the earth, so there is likely no spot perpetually in shadow. Not only that, Pluto has a thicker atmosphere many times thicker than the moon.

[QUOTE=Valnar;17362134]No temperature is the measure of movement by atomic particles, it is definable and measurable.[/QUOTE] Cold is the statement that a temperature is colder than something that is warmer than itself. Therefore it is only definable in terms of itself. Temperature is not applicable to philosophy. Temperature is a measurement. The word cold, however, can be applicable.

[QUOTE=Valnar;17362134]No temperature is the measure of movement by atomic particles, it is definable and measurable.[/QUOTE] Sure, that's temperature. How would you define 'coldness' then? Can it ever be twice as cold today as yesterday? How do you quantify that?
~nobody cares~

[editline]09:31PM[/editline] What about it's core?[/QUOTE] It was assumed we were talking about the surface temperature. Besides, that's probably higher due to the slow but energetic decay of U-238
[QUOTE=ArcNova;17362208]~nobody cares~[/QUOTE] Then why do you continue to post.
[QUOTE=ArcNova;17362208]~nobody cares~[/QUOTE] I care, ergo, you tell lies. Q. E. D. bitch.
[QUOTE=Cathbadh;17362219]It was assumed we were talking about the surface temperature. Besides, that's probably higher due to the slow but energetic decay of U-238[/QUOTE] Do we really know what pluto's core is made of? [editline]09:38PM[/editline] You guys the Earths core is colder than... the sun.
FOILED AGAIN ff
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;17362264]Do we really know what pluto's core is made of? [editline]09:38PM[/editline] You guys the Earths core is colder than... the sun.[/QUOTE] If its core is like most other planets, then it's probably made of a mixture of metals. Though they'd be frozen solid at this point in time.
[QUOTE=CanibalMonke;17362292]If its core is like most other planets, then it's probably made of a mixture of metals. Though they'd be frozen solid at this point in time.[/QUOTE] It is most likely a mixture, almost undoubtedly. I'm curious as to it's core temperature, though. 0 kelvin = :iceburn: [editline]09:43PM[/editline] My question is, does it contain decaying Uranium-238?

[editline]09:31PM[/editline] What about it's core?[/QUOTE] How is cold a philosophical term? It is used to explain a relative difference or change between temperature and as such defined by change in temperature. To say that cold is philosophical is like saying the derivative of a function is philosophical.
