Dad is a typical American. Push the button and the thing turns on. If it doesn’t turn on, throw it away and buy a new one. That’s all he knows about science and technology.
According to dictionary.com (more likely to be accurate than Wikipedia IMHO) it is the temperature of −273.16°C (−459.69°F), the hypothetical point at which all molecular activity ceases.
The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles that constitutes heat would be minimal. It is zero on the Kelvin scale, equivalent to –273.15°C or –459.67°F.
