It would seem that an increased fundamental medium density lowers the needed linear velocity required, which would allow for absolute zero (one degree of freedom) to be obtained, but it doesn't help due to the complications of further accelerating a formation once it gets that massive. ... |
All of this strikes me as difficult to comprehend. Even if one degree of freedom inside a star is achievable, what about the movement of the star in its orbit around a galaxy? Just like a cup of coffee in your car while you drive the limit on an interstate, it may look quiet and motionless relative to you, the driver, but it's really screaming down the highway at 65 or 75 MPH along with you and the rest of the car. (Plus, the interstate roadbed and the Earth are careening around the Sun at over 65,000 MPH.) And what about the universe itself? How do we know that it isn't "screaming down the highway", too? Where is all of this kinetic energy hiding? How can you shield any part of the interior of a star from participating in this energy? A black hole?
