[edit] Summary

Relationship of molecular motion to absolute zero on the thermodynamic temperature scale.

Even if scientists removed all the heat energy from matter that theoretically could be removed (absolute zero), the motion-inducing effect of quantum mechanical zero-point energy still remains. Since quantum mechanical zero-point energy is an intrinsic, all-pervasive phenomenon in all matter, absolute zero serves as the baseline atop which thermodynamics and its equations are founded.
