[math-fun] coldest place on earth
"A team of researchers has presented the coldest ever recorded temperature on Earth: minus 136 degrees Fahrenheit (or, minus 93.2 Celsius)" www.csmonitor.com/Science/2013/1210/How-cold-is-the-coldest-place-on-Earth In depressions in antartica on 10 Aug 2010. The interesting thing about this is that dry ice (froen carbon dioxide) forms at -78.5C (-109.3F) at Earth atmospheric pressures. Mars has a carbon dioxide seasonal "ice" cap. It would now appear that the Earth does too. -- Warren D. Smith http://RangeVoting.org <-- add your endorsement (by clicking "endorse" as 1st step)

The IGY expedition of 1957--58 saw a low of -102.1F but noted that since the deep ice temperature was -60F and the warmest day they had was +5F, the coldest was probably at least -125F. (Based on half-century old memory of National Geograph article.) Whit
This is the coldest place on Earth under natural conditions. The coldest place on Earth was in a physics experiment at a temperature of 50 nK. This was touted as the coldest place in the universe. --Gene

OK, so how cold is it thought to be in the farthest reaches of outer space (meaning, the parts farthest from anything warm)? --Dan On 2013-12-10, at 11:38 AM, Eugene Salamin wrote:

All of space is filled with the 2.7 K cosmic microwave background. It requires shielding and active refrigeration to cool something to a lower temperature. -- Gene

2.7degK - temperature of the cosmic microwave background. There are plenty of physics laboratory places colder than that - for example in the beam tube of the LHC. Brent Meeker On 12/10/2013 12:21 PM, Dan Asimov wrote:
