Zero, Absolute

From several considerations it is believed that at a certain temperature
the molecules of all bodies would touch each other, their kinetic motion
would cease, and there would be no heat. This temperature is the
absolute zero. It is put at -273° C. (-459° F.)

[Transcriber's note; The modern value is 0° Kelvin,  -273.15° C, or
-459.67° F. The lowest reported temperature observed is 1E-10° K.]
