I'm at work right now, and it's lunchtime.

I popped my lunch in the microwave, and I noticed that the
tray was running backwards. I realized that I hadn't set the microwave
for enough time, so I stopped it and added more time. When I started it
going again, the tray started going in the right direction again.

My theory is:
Had I let it run long enough, exactly 22.3 minutes according to my calculations, I would have dropped the temperature of my food to absolute
zero!

I feel a Nobel Prize coming!

Hmmm, this is kinda like the theory that if you fly around the world backwards you will slow time.

Edit: Also in the time you worked that out, weren't you meant to be doing a job. :lol:

¡No entiendo!

¡No entiendo!

What's Nintendo got to do with this?
They don't make microwaves!

Yes... make all molecules cease motion by... increasing their motion (in other words, kinetic energy). It's almost like sticking your hand in a pile of snow to cure frostbite.

They probably make a game called microwave warriors though. :roll:

You mean that doesn't work! Stupid snow.

It's Saturday. My boss isn't around. Anyway, part of my job is working out complex theories such as this one! :lol:

Good..

so what happens if you put the microwave upside down.

*breaks out scientific calculator*

HOLY CRAP! I'll get back to you...

Uh-Oh :shock:

mini black hole :?

Great idea, Einstien. Now I'm in trouble, the whole building will be gone by Monday.

You could always use the microwave at home.

Me gustaría joderte :wink:

It's too confusing.

Maybe if you don't speak Spanish lol

Actually the way you should be able to drop your food down to absolute zero, is to do the following:

Invert the microwave, place it on a three dimensional rotating gyroscope, bombard the microwave with Alpha wave particle radiation and drop it from an airplane. When the contraption reaches terminal velocity the food will have reached the thermal conduction barrier and spin all heat out of the system.

I say use the freezer

I say add liquid helium, if you want to cool your food to within a couple of degrees of absolute zero. Getting to absolute zero is kind of impossible, not to mention that there'd be no way of determining if something was at that temperature.

If a black hole was created in your house, there would be no house by now. The Earth would probably be orbiting it, or being absorbed into it as I am typing this. Are we long strands of spahetti yet?

I meant a really cold freezer.

Actually, no. According to relativity, the closer something gets to an event horzion of a black hole the slower it begins to move. So technically the infitesimal instant as a particle crosses the event horizon there is no spatialkenetic energy in the particle. With absolutely no energy, the particle ceases to exist. But in order to get to that point, which is hard to say that it ever does, it would have to get closer to the event horizon. However with the effects of time dilation it would take eons upon eons to actually reach the event horizon. The temporal nuances of a singularity tend to evade all reasoning as the 'hole' that exists in space is not actually a break in the fabric of the space/time continuum but a collection of matter, antimatter, and other unknown particulates that have gathered at a specific point in space/time and the accumulation of said particulates are the generational forces of the gravitational interference waves that are eminated from the 'blackhole'.

It really just depends on the frame of reference; a major premise of relativity.

I'd just get a new microwave, with a working tray-rotator.
