Quantum Snark
At absolute zero, atoms stop moving entirely.
✓ TRUE FACT
Classically you’d expect motion to stop, but quantum mechanics introduces zero-point energy—particles still have residual motion. So “stop entirely” is a simplification; you can get extremely close, but not perfectly still.
🤯 "At absolute zero, atoms stop moving entirely. The universe hits pause."
