point where the degree of " coldness " and " motion " can go no lower/slower. At

this point, the theory goes, atoms cease to move, vibrate or radiate energy.

Would not atoms in this state transcend the relative and achieve to the " one

and only " on which they were based? When we split the atom, we find

incredible energy. Therefore, when we " freeze " the atom, might we not find

incredible " truth? "

I would not agree that you can ever get an atom to freeze.

The absolute zero that comes thro' in Physics is purely a

statistical measure ..... it says the relative motion of a group

of atoms can be made smaller and smaller.....

This zero absolute is purely a statistical measure....

Freezing an individual atom is just not on.

We have to get into quantum mechanics to see the individual

atom. Here we have no such idea of anything being or sitting still.

Nothing can stay still at quantum mechanical level. The closer

you try and take a pinch of reality (including the elementary particle)

the greater the energy you generate........

 

The words of Swami Vivekananda remind us...

The more you can concentrate on a single

point the greater the power you generate. He was talking of the

power generated by concentrating the mind but at the quantum

level mind and matter become indistinguishable : )

Dear Nikhil

 

Please feel free to send the message directly to the list.

Your points are valid. The ultimate reality cannot be

reduced to sense phenomenon. All spiritual quests

pose this problem. How can we think of absolute

without some kind of relative tools? Swami Vivekananda says

something like: The absolute cannot be thought of,

explained, or grasped without use of some kind of pegs

to hang our ideas on.
