Only read the "temperatures below absolute zero" article. Ended up having an "ah-okay" feeling. Yes, the particular definition does make the temperature negative, but the system is warmer, so it's only cool (figuratively; pun not intended) in a theoretical physics kind of way.

Yup. I feel that that is why so many people are disagreeing with the article. If you don't realize that the system is actually warmer, it becomes much harder to accept.

Not so much a discovery, but I remember really enjoying deriving E=mc² from standard physics equations.

Just some facts that I find fascinating.

I was doing some research and may have gotten a little distracted. Here's some really cool science articles that I thought were interesting. Temperatures below absolute zero Explanation in people terms and a reminder that Quantum Superposition exists. A recent study has also discovered a new quantum principal. Thanks for listening, science portion of SG! I hope you didn't learn too much.
