The Kelvin Scale was invented by a British inventor and scientist name Lord Kelvin (William Thompson, 1824-1907).He also invented about over 50 devices, discovered the second law of Thermodynamics. ... That is because of quantum mechanical effects, the velocity at absolute zero is not precisely zero. But it depends on the energy, the size of space within which the ground state (lowest possible energy allowed by laws of physics). ... The gas moving outward at a speed of about 600,000 km/h and expanding rapidly at it moves out to space. ...
