We were dealing with the Third Law of Thermodynamics in class, and my teacher mentioned that it is physically impossible to attain a temperature of zero kelvin (absolute zero).
When we pressed him for the rationale behind that, he asked us to take a look at the graph for Charles' Law :

@Zhe I'll get to the point: a lot of sources tell me at absolute zero you have NO molecular motion. But my idol mentioned that at absolute zero, you don't have zero motion. These ideas contradict each other. Which one's right?
Whew..
@M.A.R. I've got a strong feeling the 'M' is for a Mohammed....
Sadly comments don't give rep, or else I'll be swimming in it.
I am guilty of commenting far too often when I should really be posting answers. Part of it is I don't really want to have to commit myself to a possibly protracted discussion if OP has further questions, etc.
@Mithoron It's bad practice actually. I usually end up deleting my comments if those questions get good answers, so at least that avoids some clutter.
Oh well. I just have had too many experiences where I write what I can, and then OP just asks some weird question that I have no clue how to answer... perhaps that reflects that I'm just bad at explaining stuff, but in any case I don't like it.
I must say, organic chemistry questions are usually gold mines for reputation, so go ahead and answer if you are greedy for rep...
Hi - I noticed you currently have several different accounts (1,2,3) on the network. If you would like to get these merged into one single account, just follow the steps [here](chemistry.stackexchange.com/help/merging-accounts) and the SE team will get it done for you. If you've forgotten your password, that page I linked also contains a password recovery option. Thanks. — orthocresol ♦2 days ago
Unfortunately, since all his new accounts are disposable unregistered accounts, I don't think he sees anything posted on his answers. Likewise commenting on the original account's posts won't get anywhere. :(
I'm a struggling science student. My teacher is used to educating AP classes, and as a freshman Honors Science student, I'm not yet equipped with the knowledge to somehow know exactly what kind of strategies I should use to study the material provided. I have talked to my teacher, but he has a fa...
I don't know the details. That used to be an action available to site moderators, however it was changed a few years ago and now only the SE community team can do it.
Well, there's not much to be done. The usual closing, deletion, etc... that you guys already know all about. Sometimes deleting old comment threads, and rejecting edits which are accidentally approved by careless community members.
@ToddMinehardt I didn't actually revert anything - you were the only person to approve it :) Anyway, everybody presses the wrong button once in a while, I know I myself have done so too many times..
Nowadays I just press skip for most of the review queues, since any other button I press instantly silences all other votes...
