It doesn't make any sense that there's a limit on how cold something can get (-273°C), but not for how hot something can get, amirite?

Although you can never pass 0K you can also never reach it meaning that you can always get colder. It's like infinity only decreasing. So you could get to .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001k. But never 0. and you can keep getting colder and adding 0's. So yes there is a limit but at the same time you can always get colder.

I don't feel like you fully understood the post...

I'm not talking about how close one can get to a certain temperature, I'm talking about the limitations.

I said that you can't pass it. And it makes perfect sense that you can't pass it because at absolute 0 you have lost all energy. But you can always keep adding energy.

@LinksLegionaire That's what's weird about it.

I understand its weird. But it makes sense. And my First comment was just explaining that you can always get colder. Just not colder than 0k.

You can have lot's of heat, even more heat, super heat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat, or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we cant go any further than that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, just the absence of it.
