Absolute zero
(gcide) | Zero \Ze"ro\, n.; pl. Zerosor Zeroes. [F. z['e]ro, from Ar.

2. The point from which the graduation of a scale, as of a
thermometer, commences.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Zero in the Centigrade, or Celsius thermometer, and in
the R['e]aumur thermometer, is at the point at which
water congeals. The zero of the Fahrenheit thermometer
is fixed at the point at which the mercury stands when
immersed in a mixture of snow and common salt. In
Wedgwood's pyrometer, the zero corresponds with
1077[deg] on the Fahrenheit scale. See Illust. of
Thermometer.
[1913 Webster]
3. Fig.: The lowest point; the point of exhaustion; as, his
patience had nearly reached zero.
[1913 Webster]
Absolute zero. See under Absolute.
Zero method (Physics), a method of comparing, or measuring,
forces, electric currents, etc., by so opposing them that
the pointer of an indicating apparatus, or the needle of a
galvanometer, remains at, or is brought to, zero, as
contrasted with methods in which the deflection is
observed directly; -- called also null method.
Zero point, the point indicating zero, or the commencement
of a scale or reckoning.

the whole, and as dependent for its existence and its
phenomena on its mutually depending forces and their
laws.
[1913 Webster]
5. Capable of being thought or conceived by itself alone;
unconditioned; non-relative.
[1913 Webster]
Note: It is in dispute among philosopher whether the term, in

double curvature, which is measured in the osculating
plane of the curve.
Absolute equation (Astron.), the sum of the optic and
eccentric equations.
Absolute space (Physics), space considered without relation
to material limits or objects.
Absolute terms. (Alg.), such as are known, or which do not
contain the unknown quantity. --Davies & Peck.
Absolute temperature (Physics), the temperature as measured
on a scale determined by certain general thermo-dynamic
principles, and reckoned from the absolute zero.
Absolute zero (Physics), the be ginning, or zero point, in
the scale of absolute temperature. It is equivalent to
