If there is anything you think you can tell me about field theories, I'd be happy to hear it.

1) The time it takes to cool a sample of ultra-cool gas at nanokelvins increases in time as the temperature of the sample decreases.
I wasn't aware that any isotope was still a gas at nanokelvins, that really is news to me.
Kuznetzova wrote:2) therefore, you were just plain wrong about zero kelvin being a matter of shielding from neutrinos.
2 doesn't follow from 1; therefore: your therefore doesn't apply. Apart from that, this is confirmation bias on your part again. The point wasn't simply about neutrinos, it was that a sample you wish to cool to absolute zero will need to be shielded from
any source of energy. The effects of gravity and neutrinos, not to mention the non zero energy of a vacuum are very small, but if you are serious about achieving the mathematically coherent 0K, you first have to eliminate the entire universe. I don't think you understand how much you are committing yourself to Platonism when you make ontological claims about the physical world based on mathematical relations.
