- Three fundamental constants of physics, which we will encounter at various times, are: mp, the mass of the proton, whose dimension is [M]; c, the speed of light, whose dimension is [L/T]; and h, Planck's constant, whose dimension is [ML2/T].

I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it.

- You saw in the class reading this week that photons have momentum, and that the light from the Sun can strike a reflective sail to accelerate spacecraft. At Earth orbit we saw that the light striking a 100 m2 sail would carry 1.8 kg-m/s of momentum every hour at Earth's distance from the Sun. .
