The Weirdly Nihilistic Reason Why Outer Space Is So Cold

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Yes, space is vast, infinite, and no doubt very cold. But does it ever reach absolute zero, which is -459°F? Popular Mechanics examines that possibility and gets some expert analysis from two School of Physics researchers: Jim Sowell, academic professional and director of the Georgia Tech Observatory, and Alastair Gent, graduate student in the Center for Relativistic Astrophysics.
