AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that the absolute zero point of a system is zero Kelvins?
Yes. Multiple authoritative sources confirm that absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature, is defined as zero kelvins (0 K) on the Kelvin temperature scale.
