For example if we could bring a radioactive atom to absolute zero, would it still be subject to the random radioactive decay? Or would absolute zero inhibit the normal half-life decay of the element?
Perhaps in other words, would absolute zero inhibit the elapsing of time?
Hi, as we know all objects must be three dimensional. If there is two dimensional "object" or "shape" in the universe, "it" will not look different from space or nothing as "it" is neither thick nor thin. Mathematicians calling "it" as a "surface" but "it" have zero thickness, isn't it a...

So since heat comes from atoms vibrating and moving and as they go fast heat increases and when they go slower heat decreases. If I got this right absolute zero is when they give off no heat and this would mean that the atoms are not moving at all. Well then if that is how absolute zero works...
