00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:20.720
So what's the report? Sir, we're at DEFCON
1. There's a meteor heading straight

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:25.200
towards Earth. How do you propose to fix
this problem Mr. Jones?

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:29.500
Well, there's only two guys that can help us now.

00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:33.480
You can't be serious.

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:35.920
[door slamming]

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.520
[music]

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:46.580
Bro, I hate it in here. Everything's so still. Nah man. Everything is moving.

00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:50.820
What? No way. This prison wall is as solid as a rock.

00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:55.800
Actually, the molecules which all objects are made of, including this wall, are all vibrating.

00:00:56.620 --> 00:00:57.860
Wait, I'm confused.

00:00:57.860 --> 00:01:00.780
I thought molecules in a solid didn't move at all.

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.280
That's a common misconception. So don't feel too bad.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.600
Now I am really confused. Can you explain?

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:09.680
Sure.  Molecules never
stop vibrating until they reach absolute

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:13.680
zero, the lowest temperature
theoretically possible.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.000
Well, what happens when you do that?

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:19.000
Let's take a look closer.

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.840
Essentially, heat creates the speed at which all molecules are moving.

00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:29.380
So the colder the object gets the slower the molecules move until they reach absolute zero.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:37.280
Alright, so molecules in a solid are always moving unless their temperature reaches absolute zero,

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.980
in which case the molecules stop moving?

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:41.980
Yes, which gives me an idea.

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:46.200
Let's go.

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.000
[sounds of people running and alarms ringing]

00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.960
Well, I guess I learned that molecules in a solid are always moving.

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:00.620
Except for when their temperatures reach absolute zero.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.440
Yes! But now we have to go back to jail again.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.480
Actually, neither of you guys are going back to jail because NASA needs you for a special mission.

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.820
Yes, my dream job!

00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:17.340
